this is a pretty famous bridge in my country: γοργοπόταμος bridge. it was sabotaged in 1942 by guerillas in collaboration with english commandoes in order to cut/delay the nazis supply line to their forces in south greece and (maybe) north africa.. it was a heavily guarded bridge so it took a big fight to get close.
its one of the rare occasions the communist guerillas (and the vast majority of the guerillas were communist-politically left leaning) callaborated with some right-wing guerillas (mostly ex-army officers) in order to get what you see in this picture done. after some time they began fight each other and the final outcome (after the nazis left) was a fully wadged civil war that lasted til 1949. in the small picture: in retaliation the italians, who were responsible for guarding the bridge, shot 14 prisoners, 7 of them in the place were the sabotage took place. https://cdn.sansimera.gr/media/photo...rgopotamos.jpg https://www.rizospastis.gr/getImage....edium&id=55226 |
^ That's an interesting story, ziggywas, and a reminder of the life-or-death bravery of people who resisted the Nazi occupation of Europe.
A fun bridge from Psy-Fi and a great photo from Mindfullness. I heard about the flood on this morning's news and was surprised to realise it was the same place that you posted about a couple of days ago. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Some bridges are rightly famous, but some are just lucky enough to turn up on album covers through no particular merit of their own:- http://www.beefheart.com/wp-content/...out.album_.jpg.....https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...iveBridges.jpg |
