Galatas

Galatas, Crete, May 25, 1941: The 23rd New Zealand Battalion had just been 
thrown out of the small village of Galatas. Two tanks made a quick recon, 
and were then ordered to lead a counterattack. As the light faded, screams 
for vengeance rose from the New Zealanders' column. The German 100th Mountain 
Regiment troops will feel their wrath.

Aftermath: The Germans thought that the day's fighting was over when the tanks 
withdrew and were surprised when the New Zealanders tore into them. In vicious 
house-to-house fighting, the Germans were destroyed. As darkness fell, Galatas 
was once again in British hands.
