Masses of air-borne Nazi shock troops tumbling down upon the stra tegic island in constant clouds have oc cupied Crete's largest city, Candia, and established at least two aerial bridge heads for the landing of reinforce ments from transport planes, it was admitted. Britain's battered fighter planes were withdrawn from the battle of Crete because, as Prime Minister Win ston Churchill told the House of Com mons, their bases had been shattered by massed Stuka dive-bombing. The withdrawal of the RAF fighter squadrons from Crete because of "pro nounced disadvantages" cleared the sky for 40,000 German air troops re ported poised on the Greek mainland to join an estimated 20,000 Nazi in vaders already battling on the rugged island.
