The most historically significant sectors of Crete during the 1941 Battle of Crete are those where the outcome of Operation Mercury was decided. Chania was the strategic center, near Maleme airfield, whose capture enabled German air superiority. Suda/Vamos controlled the vital naval base in Souda Bay, crucial for Allied logistics. Heraklion and Rethymno saw intense airborne assaults, where Allied forces mounted strong resistance despite eventual withdrawal. Platanias formed the western approach to Maleme, shaping German advances toward Chania. In the east and south, Wianos became notable for later reprisals and resistance activity, while Agios Nikolaos played a role in supply routes and evacuation networks. Together, these sectors represent the key battlefields, logistical hubs, and resistance zones that defined the campaign, making them essential for understanding the military and human dimensions of the conflict on Crete.
Printed on natural paper, measurements of 5 maps are 60x70cm and 2 are 58x82cm.
