Ypati: The city of Greece that welcomes you with a ...tank!

Usually at the entrances of the cities the artists do their best to make elaborate creations with flowers and other artistic elements in order to impress the visitor.
But there is a city in Greece that instead of flowers, welcomes you with an M24 Chaffee battle tank of World War II. And in fact, there is an important reason for this, as you will read below.
Ypati In Fthiotida region of Greece, is designated as a city of martyrdom because of the atrocity that took place there on Saturday, June 17, 1944.
German Nazi troops burned the city to the ground on this sad day.
This tank at the entrance of the city, serves as an eternal reminder of these sad times and as a warning so that history will not repeat itself in the future.
