Glezos is best remembered for his heroic act, together with Lakis Santas in 1941, of climbing Athens’ Acropolis Hill at night and taking down the Nazi swastika flag flying there early the next morning, dealing a powerful symbolic blow to the powerful occupying forces.
This incredibly courageous move later proved to be just the beginning of the great Greek resistance to the Nazi terror.

An amazing life story and an example of sticking to your principles and continue to push your beliefs, whatever the obstacles.
A true inspiration.
RIP.
