The 11th Day: Crete 1941
''The 11th Day: Crete 1941'' is a 2005 documentary film featuring eyewitness accounts from survivors of the Battle for Crete during World War II. The film was created by producer-director Christos Epperson and writer-producer Michael Epperson, and funded by Alex Spanos. Among the eyewitnesses are British S.O.E. operative and famous writer Patrick Leigh Fermor, and Cretan Resistance hero George Tzitzika. The non-veterans giving historical commentary include Chase Brandon of the CIA and Dr Andre Gerolymatos of Simon Fraser University.
==Plot==
On May 20, 1941, thousands of elite German paratroopers assaulted the island of Crete. It was the beginning of the Battle of Crete - the largest German airborne operation of World War II. They had expected to control the island within a few days; after all, they only needed to occupy Paris for a week before France surrendered. What they hadn’t expected was that the men, women, and even children of Crete would fight them to their dying breath.
Together with hundreds of stranded soldiers from Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, and a handful of British special operations commandos and US special operation paramilitary officers from the OSS (the precursor of modern-day CIA Special Activities Division) who had parachuted in to help, the Cretan resistance afforded the occupying forces of Nazi Germany one of their most costly campaigns of the entire war.
