Where is this?

o K. I'm not telling.

Operation Mercury.

 

Not sure but think a significant part of that army were in this place with english and NZ's troops..

 

Right operation but what's the name of the gorge

 

Here it is. I wanted others to take the opportunity first, but if you insist.:

Kritsa Gorge.

 

not Kritsa

 

I am sooo happy.

It will be nearby.

 

Well couldn't resist to take another look..........

About the Battle of Crete:
‘‘Over four nights, 16,000 troops were evacuated to Egypt by ships including the light cruiser HMS Ajax. The majority of these troops embarked from Sphakia. A smaller number were withdrawn from Heraklion on the night of 28 May.’’

About Sfakiá: (Sfakiá = Sphakia = Σφακιά)
‘‘After the Battle of Crete during World War II, the locals helped many New Zealand and Australian soldiers escape from here on the night of May 31, 1941, suffering great reprisals.’’

The escape there must have been trough the Imbros Gorge as the parallel Samariá Gorge already has fallen off in this quest.

... and ... suprise ... suprise ...

In the Imbros Gorge we find the same as in Teddy's picture . . . .

But if there is another taker please go ahead . .

Well..... well done
I didn't think it was as hard as it was.. A long long time ago (~40 more or less) read a lot of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_Comics and ther was more than once stories about the battle of Crete so I've allways known that bloody gorge so it was kind of a must to walk throw it..
But my point is: DIDN'T NOBODY ELSE READ THOSE COMICS

 

~~~~~ There you go Teddy ~~~~~




No, didn't read them . .

Cheers,
Angel


PS - - This one is a bit small, but it says: ‘‘Commando #2711 Escape From Crete’’

 

I didn't read them either, but my uncle drove a tank all the way to Germany at the front of Patton's army. His team put the first Bailey Bridge across the Rhine River. 12th(Mystery) Battalion. I asked him once about the maps and he answered he didn't have time to read them because they were moving too fast and he drove. Even at 82 years old he drove the mountain roads in Kentucky faster than I would.

 

Ah... a bigger pic....



For sale on ebay. You can start bidding at £ 0.99

But....it has a barcode Teddy....so I guess it's not ‘‘(~40 more or less)’’ ago....do you still read them? ...

Cheers!

Thanks Angel I've allways considered comics as good and informative reading

 

Occasionally in a loo. Mostly Donald Duck..

 

Didn't Patton die in a car crash or smth?

 

He did die in a car crash but some of us think it was a hit.
