In May 1941 Germans launched "operation Mercury" in order to capture the island of Crete which was defended by 28000 British troops and 12000 greek soldiers...
However Germans encountered heavy resistance not only from british-greek soldiers but also from local people and suffered heavy losses but in the end managed to conquer the island after 12 days of fierce fighting.
Is it possible that Crete could be better defend and drive Germans back?
