希腊文化部长周六表示，希腊已购得一批二战时期的照片，这些照片记录了200名男子在被纳粹处决前的最后时刻。这些男子是在一名纳粹将军遇刺后被德国士兵处决的。
该收藏包括262张照片、16份文件和4张当代纸币。据信这些照片是由一名曾在比利时和法国服役的德国士兵拍摄的。
“这批照片的所有权转移已完成，”莉娜·门多尼在一份声明中说。
希腊文化部此前曾表示，这些照片展示了1944年5月1日在雅典一个射击场被处决的200名共产党人的”最后时刻”。
本月早些时候，其中12张照片出现在eBay网站Crain’s Militaria上，随后被下架。
这些照片在希腊引发了强烈的情感反应，尤其是受害者家属。

随后，希腊文化部官员前往比利时与卖家会面，核实这些照片的真实性。
据法国24电视台报道，在比利时收藏家蒂姆·德·克雷恩将这些照片下架前，部分照片的出价超过了2000美元。
“我完全理解这些照片具有特别敏感的历史性质，”他告诉希腊《Kathimerini》报。
这些处决事件发生在几天前，当时共产党游击队杀死了一名德国将军及其随行人员。
希腊从1941年至1944年处于纳粹占领之下。
大多数被处决的人早在几年前就因希腊独裁者扬尼斯·梅塔克萨斯政权的警察进行的反共产党突袭行动而被捕。
在此之前，关于这200名受害者最后时刻的唯一记录是他们从押往处决地点的卡车上扔出的手写纸条。
其中一张照片显示这些人穿过田野行进。其他照片则显示他们在射击场靠墙站立。

最具戏剧性的一张照片显示几个人挑衅地直视镜头。其中两人似乎在唱歌。
“这些照片让我震惊，”希腊社会史大学教授波利梅里斯·沃格利斯告诉法国24电视台。”尽管处决200名抵抗战士是众所周知的历史事件，但直到现在还没有这一事件的照片证据。”
“一些照片展示了这些人的面部，反映出他们走向行刑队时的坚定决心，”沃格利斯向该媒体表示。
Photos showing last moments of men executed by Nazis acquired by Greece after appearing on eBay

Greece has acquired a trove of World War II photographs showing the last moments of 200 men executed by German soldiers following the assassination of a Nazi general, the culture minister said Saturday.
The collection includes 262 photographs, 16 documents and four contemporary banknotes. The photographs are believed to have been taken by a German soldier who had also served in Belgium and France.
“The transfer of ownership of the photographic collection… has been completed,” Lina Mendoni said in a statement.
The ministry had previously said they showed “the last moments” of 200 communists executed at an Athens shooting range on May 1, 1944.
Twelve of the photographs had appeared on the eBay site Crain’s Militaria earlier this month before being taken down.
They had provoked strong emotions in Greece, especially among relatives of the victims.

Ministry officials then traveled to Belgium to meet the collector who put them for sale and verify their authenticity.
Some of the images had received bids worth more than $2,000 before Belgian collector Tim de Craen took them down, France 24 reported.
“I fully understand that these photographs are of a particularly sensitive historical nature,” he told Greek newspaper I Kathimerini.
The executions followed the killing of a German general and his staff by communist guerrillas a few days earlier.
Greece was under Nazi occupation from 1941 until 1944.
Most of the executed men had been arrested years earlier during anti-communist raids by the police of Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas.
Until now, the only testimony of the 200 victims’ final moments were from handwritten notes they threw out of the trucks taking them to the execution site.
One of the pictures shows the men marching through a field. Others show them standing against a wall at the shooting range.

The most dramatic photograph shows several of them looking defiantly into the camera. Two of them appear to be singing.
“The photographs shocked me,” Polymeris Voglis, a university professor in social history in Greece, told France 24. “Although the execution of 200 resistance fighters is a well-known historical event, until now there has been no photographic evidence of it.”
“Some of the photographs show the faces of the men, reflecting their determination as they walk proudly towards the firing squad,” Voglis told the outlet.
