hordes of German air-borne
troops in western Crete, dis
patches from Cairo said
Thursday.
Fighting was understood to be
of almost unmatched ferocity so
far as the present war is con-
cerned. Thrown back from Canea,
capital of the island, British. New
Zealand and Australian troops,
backed by Greeks and Cretans,
were opposing the Germans hand

planes continued to land replace
ments.
Authoritative informants said
they had no confirmation Canea
had fallen or that, as the Germans
reported today, the Mani forces
had taken the shores of Suda bay.
eff IL is true we have lost
Canea the situation Is natural
ly more serious" an informant
said. eff we were TO lose Suda
bay Il would be more serious
STILL
II the allies could keep Suda bay
under fire, the informant added,
the Germans would be unable to
use IL.
But IL we were driven back
from the south shore IL might
be very useful to the Ger
mans" he admitted.
Islanders of Crete, including
school boys of II and ID, were re-
ported fighting side by side with
trained troops, using weapons they
had taken from the bodies Of thou
sands Of slain Germans. Women
were reported strapping boxes OF
ammunition to their backs and
taking them 70 their husbands and
sons in the front lines.
Military sources nj Cairo
described the battle rs
stand-up fight, man to man.
The Germans. having CONSOLE
dated their positions at the Ma
lemi airport and pushed back the
firing allies from Canea, were said
10 have abandoned the use of para
chute troops and gliders and to be
using only big transport planes
20 reinforce their air-borne divi-
sions.
II was estimated here that the
S4ermans are now using 1,2OO OF
these transport planes, mostly

on regular schedule between Greece
and Crete, sometimes landing at
the rate of one a minute.
