🇬🇷 Ζήτω η Ελλάδα! Greek flag raising at the Acropolis in #Greece for OXI Day! Greeks said NO to the Italian Dictator Mussolini’s ultimatum to surrender on October 28, 1940. Greece had the most days of resistance to axis powers during WW2 from all of Europe, with 219 days. “If there had not been the virtue and courage of the Greeks, we do not know which the outcome of World War II would have been.”- Winston Churchill, United Kingdom Prime Minister 1940.
