View of Hill 'C' and church

Both the Hill and the church figured prominently in the bitter fighting in this area, between the defending Allied forces and the Germans who invaded the Island of Crete by paratroops and the air-borne battalions. The view is from the ruins of Perevolia, near Rethymnon, Crete.
