1941 massacre and destruction of the Cretan village of Kondanos by Nazi troops

The village of Kandanos in Western Crete, Greece, was completely destroyed and about 180 of its inhabitants killed on 3 June 1941 by German occupying forces during World War II. It was ordered by Generaloberst Kurt Student in reprisal for the participation of the local population in the Battle of Crete that had held advancing German soldiers for two days.
