I was told that this event took place in late April 1941 when a German regiment was attempting to land on the coast of an island in the Aegean Sea (Greece). The coast was protected by a single machine gunner who managed to hold them at bay for 3 hours. The Germans suffered heavy losses in their landing crafts and had to call in their airforce for cover. They eventually took the island but never found the lone machine gunner. When he run out of ammunition he hid in a village and eventually escaped to neutral Turkey.
This surely has to be the most incredible battle fought during WWII since a single soldier fought off an entire regiment (approximately 800 men).
What was the island? The nationality (British or Greek?) and name of this soldier? Is this event recorded in a book?

Hi, I'm doing a research paper (12 pages) on Extraterrestrial Life. I'm posting the thought of lifeforms beyond Earth. The pyramids were impossible to be man-made. One block on the pyramids weigh thousands and thousands of pounds (I believe 10-15 tons each). It's been proven that these blocks were impossible to lift with the Egyptians' technology at the time. So, how were the pyramids made? They had to have had help from other beings. What about Gods? Where did ancient civilizations get the ideas for Gods? Maybe the Gods were the other worldly lifeforms. Man went from living in caves to building pyramids?? Na. They had to've had help from something. The Aztecs. An ancient civilization that built great structures. What were these for? What was the point of having these pyramids and everything? Post your thougts about this topic.
