General Ugg Apologist.
Really? Wasn't it too close to mainland Greece and too far away from Allied bases?
It had a strong garrison and a large naval flotila, the Germans only took it because for some reason despite air attack being the only reasonably likely means of attack the garrison did not bother to protect the air fields which let the Germans capture them and bring in reinforcements by air. It would be expensive to hold longer term if the Germans cared to take it but it being lost the way it was was a major cock up.
