Indian POWs in Crete 1941

Among the approximately 25,000 Allies prisoners in Crete were Indians, British, New Zealanders, Australians and Greeks. During the Battle of Crete in 1941, many Allied soldiers were captured and taken prisoner by the German forces. Some were held in a transit camp near Galatas before being transported to mainland Greece, while others were taken directly to Germany by rail. Additionally, a significant number of Allied soldiers were stranded on the island after the evacuation and had to rely on the Cretan people for assistance.
