About this audio guide
This guide to the War Museum of Thessaloniki starts at a single sheet of paper on a first-floor table: the Protocol of Surrender of autumn nineteen twelve. It follows Hasan Tahsin Pasha, the Ottoman general holding the city, as Greek and Bulgarian armies close in from different sides. Along the way it stops at the first Greek flag raised in the city, hanging at the entrance to the surrender room.
