strong guerilla army make the
island of Crete a favorable spot

said today
The Germans on Crete, just off

somewhat the same situation as the
British were in l94l, when they

days of bitter fighting.
Now, however, the defenders
would have to cope not only With
tremendous Allied air power, but
with a patriotic army estimated to
number 10000 men.
A Greek government spokesman
said 10000 German and 10000 Ital-
ian troops were in Crete until a few
weeks ago but it appeared likely
that the occupation force has been
greatly strengthened.
