The Taranto raid was a year before Pearl Harbor and should have been an eye opener for us concerning surpise attacks on a naval port by a carrier force.

From the above "Greeks Mopping Up After Big Battle article":

"Prisoners are still being taken. Not much time is wasted in marching them in. Retribution in these parts is swift and terrible."

Guess the Greeks aren't in the mood to set up prison camp accommodations for their uninvited guests. The article states that these are the actions of guerilla bands; is this also the policy of the regular Greek army units?
