Overview:
The key to victory on Crete was control of the airfields, and one such airfield was located 8 kilometers east of the town of Retimo. Luftwaffe reconnaissance convinced the German planners that this area was only lightly held, so just two battalions of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 2 were committed to the task of taking this vital piece of ground. One group, under the command of Major Hans Kroh, was to drop directly onto and east of the airfield. At 1715 hours, the drone of Ju52 transport planes filled the air as the fallschirmjäger prepared to jump. Unknown to them, waiting below were four poorly-equipped but determined battalions of Australian and Greek defenders.Attacker: German (Gruppe Kroh, Bataillon I, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 2, Flieger-Division 7)
Defender: Australian (Company A, 2/1st Battalion and 6th Battery, 2/3rd Field Regiment, 19th Australian Infantry Brigade)
