PW capture report on Kreipe
This is the last post in the series created by the excellent Chris White. He first published this on Facebook in 2020. During the first months of the pandemic, I was copying and pasting and adding his pictures to recreate here on the Paddy blog. I know that many of you have enjoyed this and your comments are appreciated. There will be a couple of follow on posts to tidy up this series, but once more, a huge round of thanks to Chris.
29th May 1944. General Kreipe arrives in the UK after a brief period of time in Cairo being interrogated. Again, it is front page news.

Have hugely appreciated this whole story which has so many strands. Thank you Chris, Thank you Tom.
Just back from Lasithi and the plateau. Little has changed up in the mountains. Some villages still don’t have electricity. Even parachuting in must have presented considerable risk…
Truly enjoyable reading the series while hiking extensively – some in the footsteps of Paddy and his comrades in arms – in Crete this May. Thanks.
thanks for the series. It was very enjoyable!
