New 'Documentary' on German WWII Invasion of Crete
I was informed of this 'documentary' when it was in its production stage, and noted then that it had a lot of superfluous anti-Fascist propaganda, for the record, the "documentarian" is an amateur film-maker with no background in history and a non-existent knowledge of neither Greek nor German, that says a lot about any so-called research he may have conducted. Naturally, Jewish-Zionist dominated newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune have reviewed "The 11th Day":
In the stirring new documentary film "The 11th Day," an old woman in black talks about the pretty colors falling from the sky on a day in May. Then, she was a young girl hiding in an olive grove, when the bombing of the Greek Island of Crete finally stopped. Villages and cities had been ruined. Survivors were trembling and afraid. Suddenly, the sky cleared. The silence was audible. She looked up. "I was only 15," says Kaliopi Kapetanakis, remembering sitting in the olive tree while talking to a friend. "Oh, I said, `Look. The whole sky is full of umbrellas.'" They weren't umbrellas. They were parachutes, carrying more than 8,000 of Adolf Hitler's elite paratroops, the Fallschirmjager, the Sky Hunters. They were the tip of the German spear.
From my own perspective I have known people who spoke to Greek veterans of this event in Second World War history, and most all the Greeks who encountered and/or worked with the Germans admired and respected their rigor, discipline and bravery. Many Greeks in Crete , who are not Communists, also know the cruelty visited upon the people by the English so-called "liberators" of Crete. For an overall assessment of the many myths and misnomers regarding the Greek view of Second World War-era Germans in uniform, Hellenian's comments on this very blog are well worth consulting.
The Institute of Historical Review's mailing list , that actually informed me of this article, passed along this very thoughtful note from world famous Holocaust Revisionist Professor Arthur R. Butz:
"I visited Crete in 1977 and spoke to Cretans (they hate that word!) who were aware of my "Hoax" book. I don't recall their telling me any stories of mass slaughter by the Germans. However I do recall one story that was evidently widely believed there, namely, that the Germans took the Jews away in a ship and then sank the ship. I haven't heard that story since then, and it's not in this column. It has stuck in my mind as an example of one of the propaganda concoctions that was dropped, together with the electrocution baths and others. Too many extermination methods spoil the broth!"
Basically, "The 11th Day" isn't so much about real Greek history, as it is history for Jews , or as my friend hilariously calls them, propeller-heads.
A 'documentary' for propeller-heads. Nothing new here.

or is my pappou a jew loving commie? Ill have you know that he fought the communists after he was done trying to free the ancient greek land of the german scum
you my freind are the definition of a whore. apologising for and glorifying the people who invaded GREEK SOIL for gods sake just because you share their fascist ideology

sickening. and you call yourself a hellenic nationalist
HELLASIBREATHFORYOU
the last post was wonderful. Bravo, well said for all the neo-nazi finks...this blog does not represent Hellenic nationalism. Real Hellenes know of Plato, Aristotle, Aristarchus, Alexander, Palamas, Karyotakis, Varnalis, and a whole other trooupe of Hellenic Patriots that placed the good of the πατρίδα before anything else. Being able to espouse the simplified tenets of an obfuscated ideology do not propel Hellas forward, but take it back 10 steps. Fanatical ideologies disturb the public good, and damage the good name of legitimate political movements...examples of legitimate political movements include the Hellenic War of Independence, the rule of Metaxas, Hellenic resistance to the Nazi's, and the fight against communism and socialist bararism in Hellas...the latter struggle continues...soapbox preachers such as Hellenic Nationalist only serve the interests of foreign aggressors, not of Hellas.
