'I despise them. Germany is the enemy': The Greek survivors of Nazi massacre who say 'No' vote wasn't just about austerity but continued resistance against 'occupation'
Old men, women and children were slaughtered in Distomo by the Nazis in revenge for the Greek resistance
Many are still traumatised by the events and believe that the Germans still owe the people of Greece a debt for the atrocity
Residents believe that the No vote against German-led EU austerity was in part due to the memory of German occupation
Greek PM Alex Tsipras has used this sentiment to his advantage in galvanising the people to back his anti-austerity campaign
