They roamed the island, sometimes for years, seeking a way off. Many escaped to Egypt on small boats or were picked up by submarines. SAM I found this story fascinating!
Thank you US Army EOD for bringing it to our attention.
I briefly checked out the links and I see there are accounts of biographies available. I bookmarked them for later research. I'd love to read some stories about those that I quoted from above, wandering the island and/or escaping.
Thanks for working it in SAM!

The New Zealand site in the Opening is excellent. A lot more detail of the entire Crete campaign.

You're welcome Snippy. Crete was an interesting battle.
Thanks to US Army EOD for giving me the suggestion to cover it.
