War is not a fairytale. History is not always epic. It is interwoven with people’s precious microhistories of everyday life which lead to great events. Kroussonas, a village on the eastern slopes of Mount Psiloritis in Crete, nοurished the Satanas guerilla band. They did not hesitate to fight guided by their conscience. Who were these ardent souls of the Second World War, who left their mark on their homeland by resisting the enemy? Who was Kapetan Satanas, and how did his burning desire for freedom lead him to fight demons?
