Paratroopers in Oil

Stavromenos, Crete, May 25, 1941: Although the British positions in 
Crete was eroding there were still areas where they were enjoying 
local successes. One such place was the area around Rethimnon where 
the Germans were actually on the defensive. Several days earlier, a 
group of paratroopers had taken cover in an olive oil factory. Now, 
with the help of a tank and three artillery pieces, Colonel Campbell 
was determined to take that factory.
