Identification of Two Executed in Kaisariani - Photos Withdrawn from eBay, Athens Attempts to Acquire Them

The KKE claims to have identified two of those executed in Kaisariani, Thrasyvoulos Kalafatakis and Dimitris Papadopoulos, through documentary photographs. Kalafatakis, 30 years old, was a farmer and dairy producer from Crete, with an active role in anti-dictatorial action. Papadopoulos was from Pontus and was one of the oldest fighters. The photographs, attributed to a German lieutenant, were on eBay but were withdrawn after attempts by Athens to acquire them. The identification is ongoing and the authenticity of the material is expected to be confirmed.
