Desperation led to chaos. Lambert had to manage starving, ill-disciplined troops who were looting villages and even fighting each other. He prevented an on-the-spot execution and negotiated with local headmen to avert further conflict. #ForgottenWar #WW2History

April 1944: SOE officers kidnapped General Kreipe in occupied Crete, then vanished into the mountains. One of WW2's most audacious operations. Walk their escape route. May expeditions now booking. #Crete #SOE #WW2History #AdventureTravel https://t.co/g9IB0nnbAw

Many historians point to the Battle of Stalingrad (Aug 1942 - Feb 1943) as the turning point for WW2. The German 6th Army's encirclement and destruction was a catastrophe from which the Wehrmacht never fully recovered its offensive capability in the East. #Stalingrad #WW2History
