Battle of Crete: "Sadists, criminals, bandits" - How the Germans saw the "British beasts"


The Battle of Crete was still raging and the Greek newspapers published in Athens, under strict censorship by the nazi controlled puppet regime of "Quislings" were featuring stories by German war correspondents, as the one above, signed by Heinrich Rodemer, under the title "Sadists, criminals, bandits, British beasts torture German POWs and vandalise corpses".

There are vivid descriptions of survivors who claim to have seen dead German soldiers with their eyes gouged off, or with their limbs severed.

The nazi war correspondent also mentions that the "local people of Crete put up fierce resistance and will be treated as criminals after the Battle is over".

A prelude of the crimes against humanity the Germans committed after they conquered the island of Crete, murdering unarmed civilians and burning women and children and whole villages.
