Hi: On an individual basis it may help you to contact the red cross website:http://www.icrc.org The mail address is: ICRC Archives 19 Avenue de la Paix 1202 Geneva., Switzerland My book on SA air activities in this area date from March 1943 onwards so unfortunately I can't help with this source. Those Allies taken prisoner in North Africa in 1941 were shipped to Italy. At a later stage they were taken by rail to various prisoners of war camps in Germany. In your case I would think the army infantry were probably taken from Crete by caique, siebel ferry or some other form of sea transport to Greece & then by rail through Yugoslavia either to Austria, Italy or maybe Germany (which was further distant).
