Prisoners of war (POWs) in Crete during World War II faced harsh treatment, particularly after the German invasion in May 1941. Initially, some were treated relatively well by the Germans, but conditions quickly deteriorated due to overcrowding, lack of food, and inadequate medical care. Many POWs were subjected to forced labor and brutal treatment, especially if they attempted to escape or resist. The overall experience for POWs in Crete was marked by suffering and hardship, reflecting the broader context of wartime brutality.
