The Battle of Crete (Operation Mercury) was fought during the Second World War on the Greek island of Crete. It began on the morning of 20 May 1941 with the attack of Axis paratroopers and ended on the 1st of June 1941. Although a victory for the axis forces, the high number of casualties during the battle shocked the German Air Ministry. Adolf Hitler, believing the airborne had lost its element of surprise, reorganised all paratrooper divisions to take up ground roles for the rest of the war. Their last drop into combat was during the Ardennes offensive in 1944.

Do you have fortnite?
Some sentences are incorrect,and very funny if someone who can speak german (like me ) hear it,but the stop motion is incredibly awsome
i love +1

It saddens me to see all the dead legos. Rest in pieces.
Pieces funny good one
West Lands hahaha
Pieces, HA! 😂
BEST PUN EVER
They need a plastic surgeon
Ah this was truly amazing! Was worth the hype. The animation was pretty smooth as well. Well done and keep up the good work!
Thanks for your kind words man. I'm glad that all my hard work is paying of for this project so far! And I will, planning on a ww1 film next.
@@JedAnimationStudios Ah nice, man! Looking forward to it.
oi
This was awesome! you don't see many brickfilms from the german perspective, and especially not many fallschirmjager perspective! Can't wait too see more from you Jed!
Yes yes your right
This is cool because I’ve never seen a lego stop motion with German paratroopers
Soviet Union You’ve never seen Mr pearl jack have you?
Because there weren't any german paratroopers
Ya
*hey i think i see you before*
0_o peace uhhhhh..... there was a German machine gun/assault rifle called the FG 42 designed specifically for their paratroopers
My Grandfather was in Crete at this time. He vividly remembers seeing the German paratroopers still in their tow craft underneath the crystal clear Mediterranean beaches.
My grandfather was one of the german paratroopers in the invasion of Creta. The most died in the air and didn't even reach the ground of Creta alive. They had no weapons, only their pistols, and had to find one of the many packs of weapons first cause the K98k or MP38 were too heavy to carry them when they jumped out of the planes.
Everything in this animation is spot on! You can clearly tell the amount of hard work that was put into this.
Thank you for your kind works, I'm glad you like it 😊
Just the idea that these guys were pratically helpless until they found the weapons crate gives you an idea on how well trained they were
In just under two weeks this film has finally made it to its first 100,000 view milestone! Again, I can't thank you all enough for you support for my channel and the work I make.
Hey can you tell me where you bought the weapons and the helmets
Right now it's over halfway to 200,000
Finding ww2 Greek figs is difficult, but I have learnt in many ways to make and customise my own figs. Maybe I should do a simple tutorial posts on how to make specific minifigs and that.
If we watched these in school i would learn so much more!
IKR
I agree
Hi walker you know me? from discord
Your so right.
We did it! Crete has reached over 300,000 views! I cannot thank you all enough for your help and support for reaching this milestone. I hope this film continues to grow and will be a popular film for all in the future.
How the *HELL* u did get 300 k in only month??????!?!?!!?
Good job i love these kind of films
Congrats well done
Mr.Jed are you sure you can't do an Invasion of Syicily video you have Italian troops, and brickarms made ww2 Italian infantry weapons
Wow thats alot of veiws
JedAnimationStudios ujjhggiiytuut
We made it to 400,000! This is amazing! Thank you all so much!
While germany still wins in greece
the Italians well.....
Hey, where did you buy the specific figures in this video from
JedAnimationStudios where did you get that lego? I want it two
All fig locations are in the description
Another great ww2 film! Will add to my group for other people to see it
Thank you my friend!
@@JedAnimationStudios its was quite impressive
Hi
legocrazymotion IM A HUGE FAN
Can you build a korean war stop motion
This proves that people have a bad first day on the job
Seeing those German planes gave me "Arnhem" flashbacks from your market garden animation haha. Good job with the cgi I like it!
This is the best crete animation i have ever seen! Its so cool how you managed to have a very cool story line in it and also a perfect stop motion! Well done! Its an honor to have my junker in this amazing video! Well done! Definitely one of my favorite stop motions of you!
My grandfather was a german Fallschirmjäger from 1940 to 1944 and fought in the battles for the greek islands, also the almost-disaster in Creta where the most died in the air and didn't even reach the ground of Creta alive. After the battle was won, my great-grandfather and other Fallschirmjäger got visit by Kurt Student, the leader of the green devils as they were also known. He later surrendered somewhere in south Italy after the invasion of the british eight army in Sicilia took place.
Awesome stuff! Can't wait to see more of your work. :D
Thanks man! And double thanks for voicing!
I haven't seen a film focus on the Fallschrimjager before. It's sorta refreshing now.
Same
You guys should watch from the channel Mrpearljack
@@Minboelf agreed.he is (along with jslegomaster) the granddaddy of lego ww2 stop motions. He also made an animation about the battle of crete.
Bucket Guy yep. The newer channels like this and also JD brick productions and Brick Dictator are also very cool
Really good job, Jed! Thank you, even though that I'm danish, for letting me take part of this movie as Dieter. :D
Ur welcome, it was a pleasure, u were really good.
Jeg kunne lugte den danske accent, lige da du begyndte at snakke tysk.
glad to see you are still making animations
Hi 🥰
Thank you all for getting this to 600,000 views! I'm so happy right now 😀
Congrats
Congratulations, any ww2 or ww1 animation you make no matter what I voted for or what perspective it is the animation is good.
We might make a million soon!
my great grandpa was a cretan fighter at the time, such an honor to recreate this battle
Grils with lego: Im going to make the best house ever!
Boys with lego:
Ha 😂
The german has some mistakes but the video is still awesome
There is no mistake, if you referring to the helmets, the Fallschirmjäger (the German Airborne) wore those helmets and used the FG 42 assault rifle exclusively for them in the war.
@Joe Edwards wELL i dOnT knOw, MaYBe bEcauSE iT iS LEgO.
They had mistakes in WW2 but now they are ok
@@thefabistarstudios9683 What mistakes?
Vladimir Putin I mean the words
Some sentences are a little incorrect
But it is still a great Video
Man I love this vid, it's just so well made keep up the good work
Thank you my friend 😀
Dang. That was a very good story line and clean animation. Definitely worth the wait!
Great to see one of the best animators active,
Epic and very nicely done, another inspired video with wonderful animations!👍👍👍
Remember watching this the day it came out. Just revisiting today. It’s one of the best I’ve seen
thank you for bringing attention to such an unknown yet significant historical event that occurred at Crete in 1941!
Ur welcome. I hope you continue to follow my channel and watch my content in the future
Great job! I love the animation! Keep it up!
Awesome; one of the best Lego animations I’ve seen
The German Band of Brothers

@@SaifSheikh445 yes he had voiceacters look at the discription
JedAnimationStudios hey Jed what happened to the battle of Amiens video? I just watched it yesterday and now it’s private, did CZcams copystrike it? If they did the that’s pretty lame, it was a great animation
@@kyberstudios7358 CZcams demonetised it, so out of frustration I made the video private until I could sort it. I didnt want to cause a fuss and tell my viewers. But now it's back up
JedAnimationStudios dang that sucks, good to see it’s back up though you did a great job👍
This is my favorite animation from you I don’t see many animations depicting the German perspective. Great animation by the way
Really cool camera movement! Liked and subbed, keep it up!
Epic video, worth the watch for sure as it shows some good stop motion skills. You did a good job
This is really good! Like the German voices and the minifigures that you used 👍
Good job Jed! Really cool
Thanks bud! And thank you for throwing ur voice!
You did this so fast and it still turned out superb! :)
Thank you!
When Klaus got knocked out in the plane, his expression was one of peaceful sleep. Now that's quite uncanny.
Better to be blissfully unaware of what's going on, especially if you weren't going to survive a plane crash I guess 😅
Great animation! Loved the story and the small but so important objective. The only thing that bugged me was that one non native german speaker, but it was fascinating to watch a axis based animation again.
Thanks for your feedback man. I look forward to seeing your next film
@@JedAnimationStudios That might take a while haha
trycoldman23 Hey, the Dieter voiceactor here. My apologies, if it has taken away focus from the film that I'm not native german. (I'm danish) so there is mistakes in accent, grammar etc, but I did the best I could do to help Jed. :D
Best regards
Mikkel
Wow 10 minutes is alotttttt of stopmotion, this is a really inspiring animation! Great job
I feel pity on him, Klaus is the rookie soldiers of Nazi German. It's his first day job, and he died
Very nice! Hope to see more!
This is so cool amazing work the lighting voice acting VFX sound effects action green screen everything was amazing glad it got 10,000 views good job keep it up👌👍💪😎😉
Thanks for ur kind words man 😀

Wow amazing this is very good!
Great voice acting and video
I was looking for this kind of video for long
Can you tell where you got the sound effects of shooting and etc
this inspires me imma make battle of crete!
Awsome job!
Amazing action sequences and characters! It’s nice to see a WWII LEGO video that’s from the POV of the Germans.
9:04 powerful statement from the Fallshirmjager commander ... he assures a grieving lament from a colleagues and yet speaks in a measured tone of voice of assurance and support 😢
This video made me post my first stop motion today. Thank you :)
it was really good man you did a good job on it can u make a part 2 of this when they find a town
You have earned my sub
This is really good well done
This is so good!
Those Junkers 52’s look amazing ;)

Awesome AND fun. It makes me want to be a kid again and play lego as I did with my son when he was little. Miss those days and this was great fun. Poor Dieter!
We've just hit our first 1,000 views people! Let's hope it keeps up!
Ok!!
You deserve way more subs. Great job!

Great, this was first lego movie I saw where the actual storyline kept me interested.
Love it man.... Support from India
Thanks man, love from the UK
Good job on animation its awesome
This is so amazing stop motion does the voice acting and everything
Subscribe and like to his channel it is very cool
Amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. The graphics are so good
Really good! The animation was smooth, the action well done, and I see you cut down on the cgi. Better for the most part, although I liked the lighting you had a bit better in your last films. Still really good though! Another amazing masterpiece!
Thank you. I decided I wanted to cut down the cgi as I felt it took away the idea that u were watching a stopmotion. I agree. My lights and camera are old. Going to have to invest in some new kit.
My e the first time since the update and it I was just about the new version is up with me to the game is on the phone with me on Twitter is so cute good night to be in the morning is a great way to get to the gym game is the only real estate and other issues of common sense in is a great very good for the first time I since I was in a statement issued after a while to ago when the time of day to day and a good reason
I don't eggs in a statement issued after a long
I was really looking forward to this video!
I wonder if Japanese subtitles are attached ...
Amazing work!
Thank you! I was wondering where u were being one of my long time fans
@@JedAnimationStudios busying modding and working (slowly) on my brickfilms ahahaha

JedAnimationStudios when you uploading next
@@welshy7524 He is working on a new stop motion, but i don't know jet when it's coming up, you'll just have to wait
The stopmotion is ww1 battle of ameins. He is already done but cannot upload it.
HISTORIAN ANIMATIONS, how come he cannot upload it?
@@historiananimations608must be some technical difficulties or something
I love this video I watch it over and over again because it is very smooth.
It was so smooth the animation and really good voice actors
Thank u!
Nice lad!
always loved Fallschirmjäger
this film reminds me of that men of war assault squad 2 mission, thanks for bringing back memories.
Very creative film, I like that you decided to do a battle not widely known, and it was stellar animation!
Thanks for your comment my friend. And thanks for not giving me hate for doing a film in the Germans perspective. Lol
Lol Ofcourse! Lots of respect, this takes a long time!
Cool!
Great video
So cool! I have never seen On in CZcams a Lego stop Motion about fallschirmjager! Great work 👍
Finally someone who understands that aim exists
No Klaus! he was my favorite.
