NAZI PARACHUTISTS
MANY AMBUSHED & KILLED BY GREEK PATRIOTS DURING MANOEUVRES IN CRETE. REVENGE TAKEN BY GERMANS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) RUGBY, September 1. How Greek patriots in Crete recently killed German parachutists descending during manoeuvres is told by the crew of a Greek ship which has arrived in Egypt'. The patriots, who were waiting in ambush, took the German parachutists one by one and, after killing many of them, took their guns and ammunition and fired on the rest coming down from the sky. Several patriots were killed. The German authorities took severe measures. They executed a great number of the patriots who took part in the attack and held others as hostages.
