Nikos Boyiopoulos linked the anniversary of the liberation of Athens on October 12, 1944, with a conference and archaeological exhibition scheduled for October 15-17. He wrote that EAM, ELAS, and EPON liberated Athens from Nazi occupation at that time. Boyiopoulos argued that the titles and themes of the presentations downplayed the German occupation. He also criticized the event's poster, stating that it depicted a large Wehrmacht flag over the Acropolis, where, as he noted, Manolis Glezos and Lakis Santas had lowered the Nazi flag. He specifically referred to a presentation by a German historian, whose title linked the desire to be present when the flag was raised at the Acropolis with the horizons of imagination and the reality of the German occupation in Greece from 1941-1944/45. Boyiopoulos interpreted the title as an insinuation that aspects of the Nazi atrocities could be a product of imagination and connected his criticism to revisionist approaches regarding the 200 from Kaisariani. He characterized the event as a disgrace and emphasized that it was held under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture. As he mentioned, the conference was organized by the German Archaeological Institute of Athens (DAI), the Italian School of Archaeology, and the Institute of Historical Research/National Hellenic Research Foundation. #ΓερμανικήΚατοχή #Αθήνα #Ιστορία (translated)
