Yes. That is 100 percent true. Freyberg wanted to, but was prevented. Also, my father actually fought at the Maleme aerodrome. He said they were actually winning, and were ordered move down to the beaches for evacuation, British planes came overhead and dropped leaflets telling them this. I had a number of relatives there, and all say that it was an unmitigated defeat for them.   16:36, 9 March 2009
