The Text of the Letter
“This is the truth about the case of the German Flag”
“Everything below that you will see in this letter is the reality, the absolute truth about the case of the German flag on the Acropolis which with such audacity and deceit was usurped for 33 years by ??? Manolis Glezos, together with Apostolos Santas.
My father Konstantinos Vafopoulos as well as my uncle Alexandros Vafopoulos who lived through this event on 30-31 May 1941 explained it to me with all the details known to them and at this moment I am the only one who knows it and I hope with your intervention we uncover this ??? while still alive before he dies and is buried at public expense with the Greek flag.
The percentages of SYRIZA rose from former PASOK and KKE members who have ‘swallowed’ the Glezos fairy tale and joined the components of SYRIZA banditry in the components of chaos.
On 27 April 1941, when the German troops entered Athens they went at 9 in the morning to the Sacred Rock to raise the German flag.
The young Evzone Kon/stantinos Koukidis guard of the Greek flag unable to bear the weight that our flag was lowered from the pole fell with the blue-and-white down to the rocks with bravery, self-sacrifice.
-
The statement from the head of the Army History Directorate (D.I.S.), confirming that historical records show that "the soldier guarding the flag indeed committed suicide while wrapped in it."
-
The then Archbishop Chrysanthos, in his memoirs, mentions: "The Greek guard of the Greek flag on the Acropolis, not wanting to witness the tragic sight of the hoisting of the enemy flag, rushed from the Acropolis, fell from the cliff, and was killed. I sat at my desk, sorrowful, until my death, in tears…"
-
The Daily Mail newspaper published on June 9, 1941, under the headline "A Greek carries his flag to the death," writes: "Kostas Koukidis, a Greek soldier who was guarding the national symbol of the Greeks on the Acropolis, wrapped in the Blue and White flag, rushed into the void and committed suicide (April 27, 1941)."
-
Nicolas Hammond, a professor at the University of Cambridge and an officer of Special Operations Cairo in Greece during the Occupation, writes: "On April 27, 1941, just before dawn, everything was closed. Then I learned that the Germans ordered the guard of the Acropolis to lower the Greek symbol. Indeed, he took it down, wrapped himself in it, and committed suicide, falling from the cliff…"
-
A reference by the writer Menelaos Loundemis in his short story The Horses of Koupyl written in October 1944: "...he took it down, wrapped himself in it, and fell without heroism from the cliff."
-
The album Fell for Life, from the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), states: "At the moment when others were giving land and water to the Hitlerites, the Greek soldier, faithful to his patriotic ideals, chose to commit suicide, wrapped in the Blue and White, falling from the sacred rock of the Acropolis, rather than raise the swastika flag."
-
According to the historical research of resistance researcher Kostas G. Kostopoulos: "The Heroic Soldier, striking the rocks during his fall from the Acropolis, when he finally crashed, fell onto Thrasyllou Street in Plaka, had been pulverized, and his uniform was shredded. When two or three residents of Plaka gathered him up, they found nothing on him except for a crumpled postal card, on which the name of the recipient was badly written: KONSTANTINOS KOUKIDIS. These details were provided by two elderly survivors concerning the incident."
-
A personal investigation by resistance fighter Charalambos Roupa, published in To Vima tis Aigialeias newspaper (May 12, 2006): "My friends and I, curious and idle retirees, started searching in the traditional tavernas and cafes in Plaka, hoping to find an elderly person who could tell us something related. Everyone knew about the incident, but they said, 'I heard... they told me...' which were the same things we already knew. Eventually, after patiently continuing our search, we found an old woman who said: 'Go down to Makrygianni (she gave us the approximate address), and there lives a former cobbler. He is the son of the ice seller who took the dead soldier in his cart and took him to the First Cemetery and buried him.'
Finally, we met the old cobbler. However, we had difficulty getting him to understand what we wanted to know because he couldn’t hear or see well. In the end, moved, he told us: 'That day, we were all shut up inside our houses, just like the whole of Athens. I was 16 years old back then. We heard an old woman shrieking in the street. We rushed out to see what was going on, and then we saw this tragic scene: a battered body dressed in khaki with a bloodstained flag around it. Papers, a wallet, etc., weren’t found on him, except for a card that had his name written on it. The card was kept by a friend of my father's. Since my father and I delivered ice columns to people’s homes, we had a cart. They placed the young man with the flag inside, covered him with a blanket, and took him with his friend to the First Cemetery, where they buried him.
There, they found a priest and told him what had happened. He led them to an open grave, wrapped the young man with whatever remained of the flag, said a few words, and buried him. What I must emphasize is that this tragic incident was known throughout Athens, passed from mouth to mouth. My father was afraid, so he didn’t take me with him. If I had gone, I would have pointed out exactly where the young man was buried. I lost my father in January 1942, during the great famine.'"
-
From the book Secret Acropolis by Ioannis Giannopoulos, two more testimonies are provided. Kyriakos Giannakopoulos, still a child at the time, was selling cigarettes in Plaka, born 11 years earlier in Thiseio. He happened to glance at the Acropolis at the moment of the sacrifice: "Just as the boy fell, wrapped in the flag, and struck the rocks. I tried to run there, but I couldn’t. Yes, I tried to go there... The boy... people rushed, the world was in chaos, it was like an earthquake when they saw the boy, the whole world was upset. Where could I go, I was just a kid back then, to get in there, inside the Acropolis arcade, to gather... to offer what? I simply picked up my things and left. He was killed at that moment. He struck the rocks and was thrown. I remember it, I see it as if I am seeing it right now. This will never leave my eyes, only when I die!"
Stathis Arvanitis, a young boy as well, remembers: "I was seven years old then. We lived just below the Acropolis. On that day, April 27th - a sunny day with a clear sky - my father had forbidden my brother and mother from leaving the house. I was on the roof playing with my toy car. Suddenly, I saw a body, probably a soldier, falling from the Acropolis and hitting the rocks. I went downstairs and told my father, who, in the confusion of the moment as the Germans were entering, didn’t quite believe me. Then, 15 days later, he came and told me: 'Little one, you were right. The BBC said it.'"
For this act the German commander ordered along with the German flag to erect another pole so that the Greek flag would also wave respecting the act of self-sacrifice of K. Koukidis, phalangite of the EON (National Youth Organization).
The residents in Anafiotika seeing the German flag on the high pole with pioneer Dimitrios Pergamalis 18 years old (electrical engineering student who worked then at the Athens Electric Company (predecessor of DEI/PPC), the brothers Andreas and Panagiotis Xynos and some others whose surnames I know, Alimpertis, Xagoraris – all refugees from Anafi, Santorini, Naxos – thought to organize this undertaking. Xynos (knew Glezos who however did not live in Anafiotika) had origin from the Cyclades, like Glezos (from Apeiranthos of Naxos).
D. Pergamalis was in EON from a young age and knew Koukidis since both were phalangites and fighters of Metaxas' youth and peers.
Glezos at that period left EON joining the KKE. In August – September 1941 the EAM – ELAS was founded.
On 9-10 May 1941 D. Pergamalis made a first attempt to raise the flag but it was full moon that night and for many days there was no darkness so as not to be noticed. Pergamalis lived on Theorias street exactly opposite the current side entrance of the Acropolis, where today the Kanellopoulos Museum operates, where his mother was the candle-lighter (in the nearby Holy Church) and rang the bell. His father was called Anastasios Pergamalis.
“The 18-year-old lad, Dimitrios Pergamalis”
On the night of 30 May Pergamalis who worked at the Athens Electric Company made a square sign approximately 2.50×3.50 meters put lamps with cable and connected about 300 meters of cable to a wooden power supply pole that was on Theorias street.
(note: this sign has been captured in cinematographic material of the era, which has been preserved and is kept in the historical archive of ERT and which has already been shown on television)
After climbing up to the area of the flag pole he took the German flag which was lowered from 7 pm threw a rope down from the wall raised the sign with the lamps fixed it on the wall in front of the flag pole took the German flag and left descending down.
“Santas was absent, Glezos simply watched”
During the whole operation guarding lookouts below the rock were the brothers Andreas and Panagiotis Xynos and at the pole of the Electric Company Anastasios Pergamalis. Manolis Glezos was present below while Santas has no relation (and Glezos put him in this story to justify his lies, with Santas they were classmates from school).
The German flag was cut in two half was taken by Panagiotis Xynos, Dimitris Pergamalis and small pieces were taken by Glezos and one or two other residents in Anafiotika whose names I do not know.
My father K. Vafopoulos was that night at the last house where Marina and Lena Vrana lived who were sisters and aunts of Sperantza Vrana. My father fought in Pindos against the Italians was wounded and returned to Athens on 18-19 April 1941.
Today in the house of P. Xynos lives his daughter Eleni (born in 51) and next door her brother. Three years ago I spoke with her she told me that her father Panagiotis Xynos guarded lookouts took piece of the flag (1/2) and that Glezos does not tell the truth however her father said nothing about Pergamalis. Those who knew it were the two sisters (Lena and Marina Vrana) and Georgia Kalogiridou in the neighboring house and my uncle Alexandros Vafopoulos.
On 31 May in the morning the German soldiers who went to raise the German flag at 6.20 am the flag was missing and on the outer wall hung the wooden construction with the lamps that was lit from the pole of the Electric Company.
At the corner of Rigillis and Mourouzi in Zappeio (where the ERT offices are) from 1938 was the Athens radio station where radio broadcasting operated and at the same time there was cinematographic archive and there were cinematographic means with portable cameras handled by German soldiers.
That morning at dawn there was an alarm and German cameramen recorded with image and sound the wooden lighting with the lamps on the wall of the Acropolis reporting in German the incident (note: this is the material that has been preserved!). The Gestapo then started investigations. This material was stored in the radio archive and because I went to ERT (due to my work) I saw it accidentally in 1995 (and in 2008 from a ERT chronicles broadcast (note: it is a fact and there are testimonies from other viewers of this specific footage). It was preserved for decades and exists today. Glezos in 82 on Freddy Germanos' show appeared with Apostolos Santas saying lies and nonsense a few months after his election with PASOK in 81, where he was elected with P. Vafeiadis.
In 1945 Glezos took over Rizospastis after the Dekemvriana and published that he took down the German flag however then there were some alive who knew and certainly after the murders committed by KKE – EAM-ELAS in the battle of Athens they refuted him. After the Varkiza agreement on 12-2-1945 and the insidious stance of KKE – EAM with the surrender of weapons Glezos did what he could opportunistically and had to ??? when they arrested him because that's what he deserved.
During the battle of the Makrygiannis Gendarmerie section order was given from the central committee of KKE to blow up the Acropolis! armed sections of EAM ELAS because on it there were machine guns of Greeks and English soldiers and this was written by Rizospastis on 3-4-1945.
The man who took the flag was found dead!
Around June 1951 D. Pergamalis was found dead in his house opposite the entrance (side of Acropolis) Glezos keeps fish-like silence fooling the world for so many decades and essentially he is the one who gave huge percentage of votes to Syriza since they have him as a symbol of resistance with the fairy tale he sold.
For the death of Pergamalis which certainly leads to thoughts and all that I mentioned with names – addresses events that residents in Anafiotika lived I think we must put an end to the Glezos farce-comedy.
I have to mention several more small details and many events that I know from my father, mother, uncles and grandmother about the period of the war and at the first opportunity I am available to speak.
Sincerely, humbly, friendly,
Christos Vafopoulos”
