Creforce : the ANZACS and the Battle of Crete

Tzobanakis, Stella

Notes
Summary: On 20 May 1941, Nazi Germany invaded Crete. They expected to be welcomed by the local community and to meet little resistance from the Allies. But they were mistaken. Australian, New Zealand and British troops, alongside Greek soldiers and the people of Crete, defended the tiny island. The battle lasted for ten days. The bonds that formed between the Anzacs and Cretans have lasted for generations
