By late April 1941 following the collapse and capitualtion of Greek Army about 42000 soldiers were gathered in south Peloponese in Kalamata ready to leave for Crete...
Germans had repaired hastily the damaged bridge in the Corinth canal and transported the 5th Panzer Division quickly to Peloponese while 1st Motorised Infantry Regiment crossed Patraic Gulf and landed on Patras intending to attack British flank through Pyrgos in Kalamata...
In OTL remnants of Greek Army along with few NZ and British regiments delayed the Germans long enough till all soldiers were evacuated to Crete...
WI British decided to throw the bulk of their forces against the incoming Germans? Peloponese is a very mountainus (sic) area so motorised and Panzer units would have been useless... The only place that Germans could move panzers would have been the road from Patras to Pyrgos but its near sea and they would be vulnerable to fire from the Navy...
Could British with Cunningham's help pinned the Germans there and cause them heavy casualties? An airborne attack would be risky for Germans too since British could launch airplanes from Crete... Is this plausible? Any thoughts?
