One of the most significant and simultaneously tragic periods in the recent history of the Greek nation is undoubtedly the War and Occupation of 1941-44. A dark period with bright exceptions - with heroes and anti-heroes, with the strong and the weak, with dilemmas and crimes, with suicides of honor and informants, with hunger and misery.

An era when Germans, Italians, Albanians, and Bulgarians trampled upon the sacred soil of our homeland over the corpses of Heroes of the Greek people. Heroes who never ceased to be born, resisting the foreign invader. Among them, the first resistance fighter, Konstantinos Koukidis, the guard of the Greek Flag at the Acropolis of Athens, at the Acropolis of Freedom, which Greek culture knows so well how to honor and offer.

This period of trial, with its known and unknown aspects, with events that still mark the noble and kind-hearted soul of the Greek, is described with his renowned liveliness and journalistic pen by Tasos Kontogiannidis.
