[III/JG52_Torpe]

But remember that in Crete there were only a few Hurricanes and Gladiators (17 i think), and historically they were retired before operation began. So the luftwaffe had absolute control over the skies.

The royal navy fleet had the presence of a carrier but it was heavily damaged by the luftwaffe, who made a heavy punishment to many warships during this operation, sinking many of them.
