About the Book

Text in French

À l'issue de Marita, de la campagne des Balkans et de la victoire allemande en Grèce continentale, l'île de Crète, en tant que base de la RAF, constitue une grave menace pour le Reich, les champs pétrolifères de Ploesti seraient menacés par les bombardiers anglais. Décision est prise, le XI. Fliegerkorps est transféré en Grèce pour une opération aérotransportée pour préparer l'arrivée par mer des troupes terrestres. Les Fallschirmjäger sautent sur la Crète, le 20 mai 1941, en plusieurs vagues. La bataille sera acharnée et très coûteuse pour les paras qui perdront près de la moitié de leur effectif. Victoire coûteuse pour les Allemands mais aussi pour les Britanniques, qui perdent cette base et, à peu près autant d'hommes et laissent 12 000 prisonniers.

Le coeur de ce nouvel ouvrage est constitué par 150 photos remarquables et très rares, sur plus de 300 photos et 30 profils couleurs et cartes. Un récit détaillé des opérations, accompagné de témoignages fera de cet album richement illustré une référence essentielle sur une bataille devenue mythique.
