Welcome to this special episode to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the capture of General Kreipe.
One of the greatest feats in Patrick Leigh Fermor's remarkable life was the kidnapping of General Kreipe, the German commander in Crete, on 26 April 1944. He and Captain Billy Moss hatched a daring plan to abduct the general, while ensuring that no reprisals were taken against the Cretan population.
Here, Harry Bucknall, interviews General Sir Michael David Jackson.
