Overview:
On Crete, once again the British forces had suffered defeat and were in retreat, streaming towards the beaches at Sfakia and evacuation by the Royal Navy. The pursuing German mountain troops were pressing hard, and had to be checked. The commandos of Layforce were ordered to stop and act as a rearguard, even though too lightly equipped to operate as regular infantry. They made a stand where the only road over the White Mountains passed through a narrow valley thickly covered in olive groves. They had been promised armor support but the Germans arrived first. .Attacker: German (Bataillon II, Gebirgsjäger Regiment 85)
Defender: British (Battalion D, Layforce / 7th Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment / 2/8th Australian Battalion)
