Description ▲

This is the true story of the battle for Crete during 1941 at the height of World War II. Woven into this complex and amazing act in modern history is a little known fact about how close the Germans came to learning of our breaking of the Enigma code but principally it details the acts of bravery by a small group of New Zealand soldiers and local resistance fighters in aiding the escape of the King under the onslaught of the German invasion.
