Please Read: This film is non-political and was made for the purposes of entertainment and education.

The Battle of Crete (Operation Mercury) was fought during the Second World War on the Greek island of Crete. It began on the morning of 20 May 1941 with the attack of Axis paratroopers and ended on the 1st of June 1941. Although a victory for the axis forces, the high number of casualties during the battle shocked the German Air Ministry. Adolf Hitler, believing the airborne had lost its element of surprise, reorganised all paratrooper divisions to take up ground roles for the rest of the war. Their last drop into combat was during the Ardennes offensive in 1944.
