This is a great documentary of the untold story of the Battle of Crete, which began on May 20th, 1941 (a few months after my father was born on this island of Greece).

The leader of the guerrilla resistance gives a great interview for this documentary with amazing recollection of what actually happened on this island during WWII.

Another untold story of Hellenic gallantry and honor. A must see for all history buffs.

Having heard stories about the German occupation of Crete years ago when I lived there, I was interested to learn more about this time in history from a Cretan point of view. I found several books and this film on Amazon, and ordered a selection from those most highly recommended. This is a memorable film about the struggle of local partisans against the occupying Germans and I would recommend it to anyone--it accurately displays the intense pride of the Cretan people, and their desperate determination to drive out yet another occupying force as they have repeatedly done in the past for centuries. I particularly like the way events are portrayed through real life stories and photographs of those who participated in this rebellion. I found it fascinating!

A very interesting insight into the events that followed the invasion of Crete in 1941. This film goes a long way in demonstrating the patriotism of the people of Crete under extreme circumstances. It also shows the fellowship between the people of Crete and their allies from the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Living in Tavronitis, this film has a considerable amount of local history. Well done to the makers.
