mcbeth Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I've been reading through The Longest Day and A Bridge to Far again lately, and it got me thinking about the airborne assault on Crete. Are there any good books about that assault? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Nearly everything written on Crete suffers from lack of telling of German side of story. Almost all the major histories are 90% allied side. But that being said here are some of the more accesible ones which you should be able to find on amazon or ebay: Books just about Crete: Crete: The Battle and the Resistance Anthony Beevor The Fall of Crete Alan Clark Crete: The official history of the New Zealand in the Second World War D. Davin The Battle of Crete George Forty Ten Days to destiny:The Battle of Crete, 1941 George Kiriakopoulos The Struggle for Crete Ian Stewart Hunters from the Sky Charles Whiting Der kampf um Kreta Franz Kurowski Daedelus Returned Freiherr E. von der Heydte Heaven and Hell Martin Poppel Fallscirmjager in Crete Jean-Yves Nasse Anyway, just a few.
