1943-09-18
How the jittery Germans knocked out their own Tymbaki Airfield with land mines, apparently in fear of Allied landings on Crete, is shown here. On 9/18/43 a few large mine craters & rows of smaller ones (dotted line) appeared, numerous holes had been dug & strings of mines (solid outline) had been laid.
