In my search for authentic 1940-era documentation, I came upon this little video
clip presented below, the lyrics of which have not been written by Greeks but by
people who were wholly taken by the 1940 Epic, we have transposed the smiling
faces with the serious eyes of our grandfathers, who gladly willed to shed their
blood so that we can now keep those lands that now every which GAP whose family
was far removed from any Greek Front, wants nowadays to sell out – to ʽutilizeʼ
to ʽexploitʼ.
Let us all then look at those fighters smiling in the short video clip, and as
they are smiling to us, let us all tell them that we intend to submit to this
government of collaborators who has long sold us out and that we are also
willing to accede to selling those soils that still contain their bones and
carry their blood. That we shall let the traitors who razed our grandfathersʼ
livelihoods and forfeited the future for which the former died, the future in
which they had wished to see us live a Free and Decent life, just because GAP
and Karamanlis and the rest of the 300 Ephialtes, embezzled the loans, signed
illegal extra loans and submitted to the will of the banks.
Let us all then look them straight in the eyes and tell them that they fought
for nought, that they spent their blood and life and youth for nothing. I cannot
stand for this. That the Nazis have return brandishing new weapons simply means
that we also should face them the same way brandishing the same or similar
weapons: Immediate Democracy now, Popular Referenda for Popular Mandate to
govern and legislation to oust them all NOW.
We demand return of all stolen property now and application of the standard
Penal Code for all the 300 traitors and their buddies in collusion.
