EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic city of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the tumultuous period of World War I. The image, dated 1916, showcases two distinct aspects of the city's rich history: the iconic White Tower and a captured German biplane on display. The White Tower, a prominent landmark and symbol of Thessaloniki, stands proudly in the foreground. Its ancient walls have borne witness to countless chapters in the city's storied past, making it a must-see attraction for visitors even today. In the background, an inset picture of a German biplane, likely a captured prize from the ongoing war, is on display. The aircraft, with its wings spread wide, serves as a poignant reminder of the conflict that once engulfed this region. Onlookers, dressed in the fashion of the era, gather around the plane, their expressions a mix of curiosity and awe. Thessaloniki, known as Salonica during the war, was a strategic location due to its proximity to the Macedonian Front. The city saw intense fighting between the Allied and Central Powers, with the Greeks eventually siding with the Allies. The capture of this German biplane would have been a significant morale booster for the local population and the Allied forces. This photograph, a souvenir of a bygone era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Thessaloniki during World War I. The juxtaposition of the ancient White Tower and the modern German aircraft underscores the city's unique blend of history and progress.
