The Allies have decided to stockpile any aircraft they can find in Crete.
Well we can not have that now can we?
The order was given to hit the Island Airfields at Dawn Jan1 when it was expected the Allied Pilots would be completely hung-over from the New Years Eve Festivities.
This may not have been the case.
Brittish Huricanes got there buts up in the air and put up a hell of a fight, even with there under-teked aircraft damageing many BF-109s.
The WA CAG may have been still drunk from the night before. They were bested by 2 squadrans of Stukas both scoreing hits in air to air with the wooosy CAG pilots. Scratch 1 Carrier Air Group, good job Stuka boys.[;)]
After the air 2 air defenders were taken care of the real death from above came roaring in damageing several groups of aircraft still on ground (pilots sleeping it off??)
Medals should have been handed to all involved but I am sorry report there must be a major shortage of medals in the german inventory [&:] Not star for anyone.
