I just discovered this, and it's really good for a low budget kiwi drama! And it's about a great kiwi war hero.

Just saw this...away for so long that I didn't know there had been some controversy a few years back...

Had lunch a few weeks ago with an English guy who witnessed the NZ bayonet charge at Maleme...
One of his most vivid memories is stacks of Tommy guns on a wharve but no ammunition for them...another was a Ju52 shot down just in front of him and running over to it giving the survivors a quick squirt...
A good novel which is partly about Crete is 'Talking About O'Dywer' by NZ author C.K. Stead...
