Kalchov Stefo
Stefo Kalchov was born in the village Zhuzelci, Kostur region. He was
one of the first partisans in ELAS in Kostur. He participated in many
battles, in all of which he showed great heroism. His last battle saw
him alone in the hours before he fought single-handedly against the
German army on a hill near the village of Nestram. At the end he was
surrounded on all sides and when his cartridges were finished they captured
him alive. Enraged by Stefo's bravery, the Germans savaged him. They
cut off his ears and his nose, they gouged out his eyes, and beheaded
him with knives.
