"Time Machine" is a show that creates documentaries about historical events and people. It also presents tributes to artists and journalistic investigations on social issues that have strongly concerned Greek society in the past.

The show is a vehicle for exciting journeys into the past that shaped the history and culture of the country. The creators gather materials, personal testimonies, and forgotten documents about the protagonists and supporting characters of the topics.

Today: "Gorgopotamos, the sabotage" (25/11/1942: Commemoration of the Battle of Gorgopotamos)

"Time Machine" with Christos Vasilopoulos takes us back to the years of World War II. The Gorgopotamos operation, the first major sabotage behind Axis lines, boosted the morale of all occupied nations and temporarily disrupted Rommel's supply chain in the Middle East.

However, the destruction of the bridge holds additional significance. It stands as an unparalleled example of collaboration between Greek resistance organizations. ELAS forces, under Aris Velouchiotis, and EDES forces, led by Napoleon Zervas, worked together for the first and last time, cooperating with a British brigadier, Eddie Myers.

"Time Machine" sheds light on the key figures and the critical moments of the operation, when everything was at risk of failure. The decisive intervention of Dimitris Dimitriou, also known as Nikiforos, the composure of Aris Velouchiotis, the stance of Napoleon Zervas, and the role of the British commandos, Eddie Myers and Chris Woodhouse, are all explored in detail.




Host: Christos Vasilopoulos
