High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 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 Tzikas. The non-veterans giving historical commentary include Chase Brandon of the CIA and Dr Andre Gerolymatos of Simon Fraser University.

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.
