Two German Fallschirmjäger (Paratrooper) at Crete in May 1941. The pictures most likely were not taken on the first day and probably more like a couple days in. As you can see, the man on the left carries a Luger in his right pocket – as a backup I would suppose, as his holster is unopened on his left hip. The younger soldier on the right leaning against the wall has the bandage covering his left elbow under his tunic. His right arm then joins his hand going into the right pocket of his tunic. Again he is sporting a pistol in his left hand lower tunic pocket whilst he carries a small pair of field opticals on his chest. He has also Binoculars
and MP40 submachine gun. They were most likely a Squad leader. They are
wearing a light olive green jump smock of the early version, with the
trousers that were darker than the smock.
