Crete 1941: Maleme sector

I have now eveluated and recorded the German parachute drop around Maleme. Although widely scattered no units were lost into the sea. This was largely a result of avoiding the area around the anti-aircraft defences at the airfield. I intend this area to be a target for glider landings which can be more precise.

The final landing positions are shown below, again using red for German and Blue for allies for greater clarity.
