Good old Crete we knew it all every part of the German plan thanks to breaking the Enigma codes, so why did it end the way it did? Because if we stopped the Germans cold they would had known or had strong suspicion there Enigma codes were not as safe as they belied. From our point of view Churchill did not want to tip off the Germans, another interesting point is when it was all over the Germans found documents on what we knew but lucky for us the Germans dismissed them.
