Parachutists may also try to seize aerodromes and to panic the popula- tion by Indiscriminate shooting.

Cretans Good Fighters Cretans have always been among the best Greek soldiers and it is most unlikely that the Germans will find fifth columnists among them.

Although no figures are available of the strength of the British, New Zealand and Greek forces in Crete, there is no reason to doubt that they would be more than a match for any airborne troops, whose numbers are necessarily limited,
