Talk:Battle of Crete order of battle

message: This famous ship is not mentioned here. However, I do know that a number of soldiers were rescued at Crete by HMS Ajax. Did it just decide to come there by itself? Wallie 10:59, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  HMS Ajax 

message: I note this ship (destroyer) is not mentioned in the text also, but know that it made two successful evacuations of allied troops from Sfakia, one on 28 May 1941 and one on 30th May (from my family history - father was one of troops rescued) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.41.254 (talk) 21:07, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Despite its first line, the oob is not complete. These two webpages provide extra info on defenders (especially tank and artillery strength):

=== Luftflotte IV ===
While the Luftwaffe did eventually gain a Panzer Division, I doubt that Luftflotte IV ever controlled the 5th Panzer Division, or even the 6th Gebirgs Division!Glevum (talk) 05:22, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Curious about the best way to add Kampfgeschwader 26 to the oob. The Kampfgeschwader 26 wiki page shows that it participated in the Battle of Crete, and it was likely part of VIII. Fliegerkorps. Just trying to find a decent reference to clearly show the connection Bertdeb (talk) 02:02, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I believe there is confusion between the New Zealand and British composite battalions. The source cited (https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/RCDIG1070149) seems to think that the New Zealand composite battalion was called the Royal Perivolians, but the NZ official history does not mention this. Furthermore the order of battle given by the NZ official history lists the Royal Perivolians as a separate unit formed from various British units (http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2Cret-b4.html). Other orders of battle appear to be in agreement with this (http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/battles_crete.html, http://homepages.force9.net/rothwell/crete.htm).
