Ultimate Blitzkrieg - The WW2 Battle of Crete

Evacuation (1x2)

Air date: Apr 03, 2020

Allied forces were evacuated off Crete's south coast in a dangerous operation that cost the lives of almost 1000 British seamen and Allied soldiers. Protected by a series of bloody and heroic rear-guard actions to slow down the German advance , thousands of soldiers embarked on a forced march over the mountains of central Crete to meet Royal Navy ships which would take them 400 miles across the Mediterranean to Alexandria in Egypt. This was a mini Dunkirk but many didn't make it.
