Liberation of Athens from Nazi Occupation
The bells in the churches of Athens started ringing joyously and the citizens rushed out on the streets the day the Nazis left Athens.
It was a sunny autumn day, October 12, 1944, when the bells began ringing, signaling liberation after three and a half years of occupation.
Citizens waved the Greek flag in celebration, and soon the rest of the country would be free as well.
By November 3, the last German, Italian, and Bulgarian soldier had left the mainland, except for the island of Crete, which suffered under German occupation for a few more months.
