Nikos Belogiannis:
When the Germans invaded our land, His Majesty the King and his government abandoned the country and its people to their fate. They left hundreds of political prisoners behind bars. I was one of those prisoners. We escaped and those of us who survived, joined the resistance. We founded the National Liberation Front, the EAM. At the beginning of the German occupation one seventh of the population died of hunger. It was an actual genocide. The nation was in great peril. At that moment, the EAM came to revive a dying nation. To fight for life and freedom. And the communists were the heart and soul of the EAM. The Communist Party needs no citations for patriotism. It has won them with blood as well as with arms.
Head of the Court Martial:
Primarily with arms.
Nikos Belogiannis:
Primarily with blood. Remember the two hundred executed at Kaisariani, the four hundred in Kokkinia, the one hundred ten in Kournovo, Ilektra's suffering, and the heroic Stathopoulou, who threw herself in the path of German tanks. That is how we love our country, with sacrifice and blood. What agent serving foreign interests would ever give his life so selflessly? Our sacrifice is comparable only to those of the early Christians. But the Christians hoped for the Kingdom of Heaven. The Communists offer their sacrifices for a future they will not live to enjoy. What agent serving foreign interests would ever do so? You keep repeating that we are spies and traitors. No, we are Greeks, who go without sleep and rest, striving for the dawn of a better tomorrow, for the creation of a new era more compatible with our dreams, more fit for human beings to live in...
