  So what do you get? We got the chatty, gregarious, good humoured, passionately proud, Cretan Yannis. Knowledgable, former Greek special forces guy who had been based opposite Maleme airfield -... read more so he know the ground. Picked up at 9am in a modern minibus, we were joined by two others and then headed to Tavronitis Bridge, west of the airfield, pockmarked with shrapnel and bullet holes. Here the surviving German paratroopers rallied to attack the airfield while the New Zealanders poured fire from Hill 107. Which due to communication errors they abandoned to the Germans who then took the airfield. Standing on the summit having been to the RAF memorial, we checked out a British bunker and appreciated the tactical advantage of the hill, discussing the course of the battle. Then to the German cemetery; on to Stelios, a local enthusiastic collector of 50,000 pieces of militaria (from scrap metal pieces of planes, lorries and field canteens to weapons, cameras and uniforms). He was also ex special forces. Then a surprise detour to Yannis’ 93 year old mother who writes newspaper articles about her experience as a teenager during the German invasion and occupation. On to the site of the 42nd street battle (notable for a bayonet charge by the remnants of the NZ division) and finally a stop at the Suda Bay commonwealth war graves cemetery. Sobering as always - whatever the war). Thank you Yannis
