Title

Naousa, September 1944. The legendary British Captain Billy Moss

Description

Naousa, September 1944. The legendary British captain Billy Moss, a symbol of the struggle against the Nazis, who captured the German general Kraippe in Crete—a subject that was made into a film and books—together with the interpreter Dimitris Petrou. (Kraippe's kidnapping was one of the most fascinating acts of World War II by a group of brave resistance fighters). The photograph was taken by Captain Geoffrey Chandler (1921–2011), who acted as a saboteur against the Germans in Northern Greece and was in Naousa on the day of the German withdrawal. In his book 'DIvided Land', he describes the situation in Greece in 1943–46, emphasizing the divisions and mutual fanaticism that led to the Civil War.
