[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 602586, member: 22"]This was probably the last issue as the Germans on 20th May 1941, began a massive airborne invasion of Crete, the defenders, Greece, UK, NZ and Australia were overwhelmed. The Germans raped, robbed, routed and decimated the whole of Greece, apart from one island. I've been all over Crete many times, its beautiful and the people are very welcoming. I visited many small villages where all the menfolk , old men and boys were lined up and executed by the invaders. After the defeat of Germany most of the victories allies even though broke, rebuilt Deutschland and its economy. Germany now thrives and is the largest car producer in the world and is trying to rule Europe economically once again. The Greeks are estimated to be owed €279 billion in German war reparations. There is something very wrong about how that turned out.[/QUOTE]
