I,f charged with brutality. He was
kidnaped and CAPTURED by the Brit
jsh last April three weeks after
he was appointed.
The island has suffered heavier
load Of occupation troops per capl-
r. than perhaps any other occupied
territory. The prewar population OF
$50. 900 had to support as many as
6o 600 Nazi garrison troops at
time.
The record number descended on
Crete just before the Allied inva-
sion of Sicily. when an underground
deception scheme, implemented by
less than a dozen Allied liaison Of
ficers. led the Germans to expect
that Crete was that Allied obiec-
five. This scheme was led by Col.
Thomas Dunbabbin. former archie
oloeist fellow of All Souls college.
Cambridge.
First of the brutal Nazi COM
r1anders of Crete was the para
chute expert. Col. Gen. Kurt Stu
dent, now on the western front.
His reign lasted six weeks follow
ing the battle OF Crete. Every vii

made their last stand was forced
to Weld hosta ges-men. women and
Children who were slaughtered by
the hundreds. In single day 1000

An air force general. Waldemar
Andrae, succeeded Student and
Continued the oppression. After one
British commando raid he executed
so hostages, including Titus Geor
giades, former governor general
OF Crete.
The next commandant. a man
named Brauer. wiped out an en-
tire county, killing more than 1000
villagers aged to go At one viii
LACE 155 out Of 100 inhabitants were
killed for the crime" that their
village bore the name as the Gre
ten patriot leader Gandouvas.
Gen. Friedrich Wilhelm Muller
followed Brauer end celebrated his
by killing a further
1000 illagers, razing seven viii
lagos and dynan1iting churches and
springs.
The present commander, a Colo
rel Bentak. is now marooned on
the northwest tip of Crete with 15.-
GEO German and fascist Italian
troops. Although besieged ~ the

We hold all wars to be
deplorable. Once a nation
is drawn into war, however,

help our country, the United

its present war.
