Description
Conquering Crete

In 1941, airborne operations were still in their infancy. Germany
was at the forefront of airmobile tactics and decided to use
paratroopers in a risky invasion of the strategic island of
Crete. Over 10,000 German paratroopers were committed to the
attack. They faced a mixed Commonwealth and Greek force of over
40,000 men. Despite lopsided numbers, the Germans were able to
secure airfields on Crete and bring in reinforcement-albeit at
the cost of horrific casualties. Germany would never again
undertake a large scale airborne strike. Kit features
Paratroopers during the Battle of Crete.
