On 31 may 1945 commander of british troops in crete preston he accepted in public that 5.000 germans they are armed for their security and their war supplies , having the authority to arrest even Greeks in their keeping area and to send them to the English troops. O la la .
An English journalist sends to daily express the following message with….. few words.
-I saw in the street of souda chania a fantastic view.
I knew that germans were `11.500 in an area , until comes ships to take them they had the permission from English to keep their guns for their protection from cretan people because cretans had many …......paybills for them. I was not ready for this I saw, here is Wehrmacht as they were in war. Cars with germans inside with machine guns goes and comes .In the farms were standing germans with their machine guns ready to shoot.—
In this view I think anyone can understand how the people of chania felt looking this kind of monkey business with germans .All Greece was free and only the base in hania was still under the Nazism with the protection from English…..politic I can say.
