Kidnap Nazi General
From Isle 01 Crete
LONDON — (UP) — An un-
dentified British major is cre-
dited today with leading a
small group of commandos in
one of the most daring raids on
the war
The raid was on the German-
occupied island of Crete and the
enemy listed their casualties as
one general—kidnaped.
It all happened on the night
of April 21st, when, under the
cover of darkness the band of
Britishers slipped ashore at a
point near the Nazi headquart-
ers on the north shore of Crete.
They waited in hiding for the
general to make his trip from
headquarters to his mountain-
side villa.
When the headlights of his
car broke the darkness, the ma-
jor stepped into the road, wav-
ing a red lantern. The general's
car stopped and the raiders
swiftly.
The chauffeur was ordered to
move over. A British soldier
took the wheel and the party
sped through 30 miles of Ger-
man patrols.
The two command banners
flying on the car ensured the
raiders safe passage through
some 22 German control posts.
The British raiders aban-
doned the official car and
hustled their kidnaped gen-
eral aboard a British vessel
bound for Cairo.
However, the raiders didn't
leave Crete untl they had left
a note for the German authori-
ties saying that the officer —
identified as Major General
Heinrich Kreipe — had not been
kidnaped by the local popula-
! tion.
They assured the authorities
j that Kreipe's disappearance was
singularly the handy-work of
a British commando raiding par-
ty—and they expressed their
regret that they couldn't take
the general's car along with
them. too.
