Good Morning Patriots! 

Join us today as we finally get down to business and witness the battle for Crete. But instead of the locals showing traditional Cretan hospitality, the battle of Crete will spark a mass civilian uprising in what will cost the Nazi's dearly, earning Crete the name, "The Graveyard of Paratroopers".
