Recalls the WWII battle for Crete in 1941 - the first entirely airborne invasion and places it in a wider historical and military context. The German victory was achieved at a high cost, and Hitler and Churchill drew entirely opposite conclusions from the event. Includes contributions from German and British veterans of the battle and archive footage.
