Kidnap in Crete

Mehr zum Buch

In 1941 the German army invaded the strategically important Mediterranean island of Crete. The years of Nazi occupation that followed saw mass executions, widespread starvation and the brutal destruction of homes - but amid the horror, the Cretan resistance, the Andartes, with the support of a handful of British SOE agents, fought on heroically. On a moonlit night in April 1944, a small band of fearless partisans, led by the British SOE agent Patrick Leigh Fermor, kidnapped a high-ranking Nazi general. This is the dramatic story of a top-secret and high-risk mission.
