Default Re: Crete holds

Now that is a good question. Had they held their ground for one more day, it would have ended with a British victory. Nothing factual but I believe it was lost due to the leadership. I read an account written by van der Heyte in which he states that they were done for but all of a sudden the British were pulling back and it was not by pressure from the Fallshirmjagers.
