There was much to the battle of Crete that is not expressed in this film but it is interesting to say the least. It is about the German attack on Crete and it is worth watching to see this. The ‘interesting’ mistakes of the New Zealand General ( Freiburg) and the real stories of the great defence provided by the New Zealand contingent at hill 104. This is a shattering story and it is hard to say what would have happened if a great man had been in charge. But then, times change perhaps, or do they? Would Brexit have been different with another person in charge, who knows. . .

Crete 
My father was a soldier sent from Athens to help the Cretans with the German parachuters. He was injured at the foot and was saved by Cretan peasants, they hid him at their house until he was able to walk again. Then he was tranfered secretly by a little boat to the island of Thodorou outside Chania and there a bigger kaiki transfered him to mainland Greece
After 40 years I went there and left flowers at the German cemetery, it was terrible, all these young people, it doesnt matter they were fiends, their mother were weeping for them
