Ghosts ....they say the souls of brave soldiers never really leave the battlefield where they met eternity.
beryan beyaan thank you for watching and for your words, they are very moving.
Greetings from Argentina.
You must know a lot about history how do you find these spots for then and now must be a lot of research nice job love it
Mario, thank you for your words. Yes, it is a job that takes time, but it is worth it when people recognize it, as you do with your opinion.
Greetings from Argentina.
It seems like 10 years ago someone discovered this method of capturing history and it has captivated me ever since. I just can’t understand how, for example, you find a stone wall on the island of Crete to match it up to a photo from 70 years ago. Even if you lived in Crete it would be tough to do. Great stuff. Thank you!
I'm from chania, crete and its crazy seeing places that I know of with all these soldiers. Thanks so much for this
SiKyR thank you very much for watching and for your comment.
You live in a historical and magical place, congratulations.
Greetings from Argentina.
It is the same all over Europe, difficult to understand that the Germans were just everywhere, every street, every house, ...
@@corneilcorneil that's not true
@@sikyr3329 No? Ask your grandparents. House searchings, hunting for (example) Judes, food, English pilots, smugglers and goods, resistance members, ... call it. You are right if you say... not in houses build after 1945.
@@corneilcorneil I didn't understand much of what you said but the Germans weren't everywhere in europe, for example the UK, Sweden, Switzerland
Love your work. Thanks for doing this. I am a ww2 history buff and find these photos fascinating.
Luftwaffe65, thank you very much for your comment, you are very kind.
Greetings from Argentina.
Love the format of the photos, great work. Thanks
@MrDaiJohn thank you for your comment.
Greetings from Argentina.
Oh wow I am the first to see this and its a magnificent production and another superb soundtrack, I went to Heraklion with one of my sons many years ago and we were staying quite near Lions Square and walked past it a few times. All the best Ignacio
Thank you very much Russell, I try to do a serious job, respecting the memory of all those who fight and suffered for a more just world. It is incredible to think that so many atrocities have occurred in such a beautiful and currently touristic place as Crete.
Greetings from Argentina.
Fabulous work, congrats.
Anthony Brunt, thank you very much for your comment.

Best photo documented battle of WWII! Try to find the exact spot of the Kontomari executions.
@menelpro, thank you for your comment and your suggestion. I will try to do it.
Greetings from Argentina.
Fantastic. 🏴✌️🇬🇷 Thank you. Brings the terrible unforgivable German European aggression vividly to life. My father served in the Mediterranean in the Royal Navy there in W.W.2 and lost many shipmates in those waters.
@Backwardlooking, thank you for your comment.
God bless your father and all those who left their lives so that we may have a better world.
Greetings from Argentina.
@@IgnacioVeutroProductions Thank you and the Peace of God be with you and yours also. Unfortunately war and tyranny are still with us today with all of the suffering, grief and pointless destruction that wars involve. 👍🏻🏴🇦🇷 May Good prevail.
Stunning!
👍
Excellent job ...... Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ottogross2510 thank you very much.

Very nicely done.
NCWoodworker, thank you for your comment.
Greetings from Argentina.
I lived 17 years of my life on those places. Your work is outstanding. Buena suerte Ignacio
Kostas Nikolopoulos, thank you very much for your comment. Continental Greece and all its islands are unique and wonderful for their natural charm and their impressive ancient and current history.
Greeting from Argentina.
@@IgnacioVeutroProductions Ignacio I have visited your beautiful country many times as iam a deep sea captain on merchand vessels mainly the North part around Rosario. I had the luck to stay in Buenos Aires for 3 days awaiting to catch a vessel it was amazing but nothing compares worldwide to Tierra del Fuego. The most magical and mighty place on the globe and believe me I have seen a lot of places on my 58 years of living. One of the places that someone can feel his actual size which is really small.When someone face it in heavy weather gets instand wisdom by realising how small is the man compared to God's creation.
@@kostasnikolopoulos8226 Thank you for your comments, it makes me very happy to know that you have been to Argentina several times, mainly in Rosario, because I was born in that city, on the banks of the Paraná River.
A big greeting from Argentina.
I subscribed as soon as I saw how many subs you had. The amount of work you have put in, shames those that watch but don't subscribe. Imho.
Rappers57, thank you very much for your comment, you are very kind.
Greetings from Argentina.
That would have been a hard one to do, nice work.
Arrr Groundup, thank you for your comment.
Greetings from Argentina.
good work, couple of errors, but, love your work.
ww2 buff, thank you for visiting my channel. Please, could you tell me what the errors are?, it would help me learn more about history.
Greetings from Argentina.
Fantastic job, I admire your work so much is like a time capsule! How do you find your historical photos, do you search in the public or private archives?
Cosmin Gradinaru, thank you very much for your comment.
I look for historical photos in both places.
Greetings from Argentina.
Muy bien Che! Reminds of "After the Battle" magazines I used to buy in 70s/80s.
Well done and the Maleme cemetry is all what is left. More than 4500 german soldiers resting there. I often visit Crete, because a greec family are friends of me since decades.
@dr.wilfriedhitzler1885, thank you for your comment. Sometimes it's hard to imagine the terrible things that happened in a place as beautiful as Crete.
Greetings from Argentina.
Do you know where exactly the photo at 2:45 was taken?
Wow!
ruda koka, thank you for watching!
Greetings from Argentina.
RIP to all who died on both sides.
@MrNaKillshots, I agree with you.
Greetings from Argentina.
Sehr cool.👍
Mario Sprenger, vielen Dank.

@@IgnacioVeutroProductions Ooooh Argentinien!? Schön! Grüße zurück aus Frankfurt an der Oder!🤘
These are the effects of the Battle of Crete when German paratroopers invaded this island
mutlaq_-wp4lp, thank you for watching.

@@IgnacioVeutroProductions pardon
@@IgnacioVeutroProductions pardon
The Souda Bay photo at 2:17 is a made up photo. Quite famously so. Paratroops never landed there. Why would they? The only airfield, their objective, was Maleme. The airport on Akrotiri had yet to be built.
The massed para drop was over Hill 107 from JU52 aeroplanes to capture Maleme airfield.
Done years before photoshop was even a dream.
7.000 views, only 200 likes... What is wrong with the viewers?
Corneil, thank you very much for your support, you are very kind.

Moving...
Tim Csont, thank you for watching.
Greetings from Argentina.
04:57 I do not agree to that. Guys like this one tortured, stabbed and slaughtered wounded German paratroopers. It serves him right.
@kal.50bmg32, thank you for your opinion. It depends on the point of view you look at it, but in reality the invaders were the Germans. The Greeks were only defending their land.
Greetings from Argentina.
@@IgnacioVeutroProductions And? Is that any kind of "excuse" ? They were not "only" defending their country - they murdered helpless soldiers. That´s the point.
