Operation Albumen - The Escape from Crete - WWII
Photograph taken by Colonel David Sutherland of SBS and SAS, was part of a 12-man Special Boat Service unit which made a daring raid on the occupied Greek island of Rhodes. Sutherland then took part in Operation Albumen on Crete, when 29 German aircraft were destroyed for the loss of one officer, and afterwards escaped with several Cretans who feared German reprisals (pictured here during the escape on the 10-ton motor-boat The Porcupine ). Date: 1942
