Ailsby, Christopher Hitler's Sky Warriors: German Paratroopers in Action, 1939-1945
Dulles VA Brassey's Inc 2002 1-57488-501-4 / 9781574885019 First Thus Soft Cover New
Includes the invasion of Crete 1941 (pp.48-63) "Beginning with an examination of the origins of airborne forces in Germany and Europe during and after World War I, Hitler's Sky Warriors goes on to look at how the concept of airborne assault was developed by the Nazis in the 1930s, leading to the creation of the 7th Flieger Division. The first two years of World War II illustrated the effectiveness of the Fallschirmjager, as German airborne forces won a string of victories in Norway, Belgium, Holland, mainland Greece and Crete. And thought he invasion of Crete was to be the last large-scale German airborne operation of the war, the Fallschirmjager would continue to see heavy fighting in the elite infantry role. From the scorching sands of North Africa to the frozen wastes of Russia, paratrooper units fought with courage and skill to win the respect of friend and foe alike. Hitler's Sky Warriors includes detailed accounts of all the ground campaigns of the parachute divisions, especially in Italy, where their epic defence of Monte Cassino entered military legend."176p. illus.index

(New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece) " The wartime exploits of "Kapetan Vasili", New Zealander Dudley Churchill Perkins, have become a legend on Crete.He first arrived on Crete following the Allied withdrawal from Greece, and was then captured by the Germans.

He was so impressed by the Cretans' assistance to him that he left his New Zealand unit and joined the British Special Operations Executive and returned to Crete as a special agent, taking command of a guerilla band which he trained, organised, and led in numerous attacks against the Germans. Vasili is the result of several years of research by Murray Elliott, including interviews with Cretan resistance fighters and Perkins' S.O.E. colleagues.
