Nazis on the run
Posted on 10/27/2010 7:19:22 PM PDT by eleni121
During the grimmest most desperate times of the WWII, when greater nations were run over, collapsed, and capitulated in a matter of days, the Allies found themselves floundering in the face of tyranny and the brutality of the Wehrmacht. That is when, once again, the geographically tiny nation of Greece, but a nation with an awesome sense of doing what is right, refused to submit to tyranny - just as they had refused many times before in their glorious history.
Germany had to support Italy when it was defeated by Greece. Valuable time lost for the Nazis.
Then on April 6, 1941, German troops invaded Greece through Bulgaria in order to establish a bulkhead on its southern flank. Again the Greeks withstood the Wehrmacht...again delaying and frustrating Hitler's plans.
There's more. Later in Crete with operation Mercury the Greek resistance dealt incredible casualties on the marauding Germans never letting up on the invaders. It was the first time the Germans met with incredible civilian resistance.

I know this is a stretch, but thought it was worth a try to ask on this forum...
Does anyone know where I can find a poster from WWII by E. McKnight Kauffer entitled, Greece Fights On?
Many many thanks.
I will look into this-—great question—I am interested too.
You can get a copy here:

Yes!! This one. Awesome. I will take a look at the link now.
Thank you! The last link is great, but the posters are re-prints. I know it is a stretch, but if I can get an original, that would be preferable.
Great link- thank you again! It is probably impossible, but if there is any way to get an original, I would love that! Let me know if you have any ideas.

I think it’s going to be very hard to get an original Kauffer poster of WWII. Have you tried Ebay or another auction house like Christie’s ???
I’ve tried eBay :-( I agree this is going to be hard.
