HEAD ON (1998) dir. Ana Kokkinos
Josef H. Blechinger was a German soldier who turned out to be one of the greatest heroes of the Greek resistance, who literally saved a town from destruction.
Blechinger came to Greece as a conqueror with the German army. A few years later, after the war, he became Greek, changed his name to Elias Kokkinos, started a family and died in Greece.
Elias Kokkinos was born as Josef H. Blechinger in Dresden. His mother was Czechoslovakian and his father Austrian, but officially he was a German citizen. When World War II broke out, he had to enlist in the German army. First he served in occupied Poland. Then he was transferred to Greece.
Greece was under German occupation and Blechinger was appointed as switchman officer in the Lamia railway station. Blechinger was not a Nazi and soon he started helping Lamia residents who were wrongly suffering under Nazi rule during the occupation.
I want to start this blog with recommending to you one of the best artists I’ve ever come across. @sheilkuroi‘s drawings are great and her storytelling is full of suspense and surprises, and her take on greek mythology is as educative as creative. She has some older comics on smackjeeves (see link), but also her current and still ongoing project “Kokkinos”. I want to talk about the last one a bit more.
The kingdom of Nephele is conquering polis after polis, country after country. Caught on different sides of that war are the young soldier Tobi and the magician Enyo. Despite being enemies, it’s love at first sight, but they have not more than one night together before their ways part. Tobi shows Enyo a magic trick of a different kind, and when the war is over, Enyo, despite being captured, is still thinking of that night with Tobi. Will they be able to reunite, or will the war tear them apart forever?
“Kokkinos S.A., based οn Kalymnos Island, began its operation way back in the late 1800’s, focusing οn the collection of superior quality natural sponges. The brand name “Kalyspongea” was created having in mind the international fame that the Kalymnian sponge divers enjoy.
Therefore we devised a brand name that consists of two parts: the name of Kalymnos Island and the suffix -spongea that is found in many scientific names of sponge species. The tagline of the brand: “Kalymnian Sponge & Sea Shell Experts” highlights the knowledge and experience of Kokkinos S.A. in its field.
The logo design draws inspiration from the old diving suits and encompasses a subtractive depiction of a sponge. The dark blue color was chosen as a reminder of the depths of the sea the sponge divers work at. The package is manufactured by recycled paper in order to highlight the naturalness of the product. The quality seal design, in the shape of old ship steering wheels, carries the message “Kokkinos S.A., Quality Sponges Since 1956” thus further reassuring the consumer regarding the quality of the brand.”
