Sorry everybody. I changed my mind. Italy would require a lot of new summer textures which i have no power and time to make. So i am aiming on Crete now. Always wanted to make it, just had no time. And with some units i recently made this could be nice additional chapter for DAK. So, sorry  ...could someone get me detailed informations on Crete defenses, especially Maleme airport?

As i intend to treat of those matters on the Commonwealth Armies side, maybe i could be of some help ? While quite sure you already know them, here's as "anti-pasti", three maps about evolution in Sicily (i could post 10 of the same type about Italy operations): Attachment:

I guess you also already know about the Orders Of Battle (if not : Wilipedia is decent about allied armies, then i guess is so for the axis')... I haven't yet much material about Axis defence lines, more about Gothic Line (Northern Italy), but day after day, i pick up things here and there; so, don't hesitate to ask about a particular question, if able i will answer/help with pleasure  Good luck and courage

About Anzio, i have scanned some pictures from a study i have. But as i'm not sure it's very useful and there are 13 picts, i send these to you as PM (don't want to "invade" hereby  ) Let me know if it worths it...

Unfortunately can't work on Italy. i have some italian units made by Dunkel but i would need a lot more and honestly i hate to make them. But invasion of Crete on the other hand would be quite different. Lee sorry.  But thanks on the books. Always love to read and learn something new. Sorry about this Italy thing, i guess i look a little bit

, a Crete airborne invasion chapter would be wonderful, but then is it possible to use gliders?
