Fallschirmjager of Pleischen’s Company in Rethymnon after securing the city proper.
Of note is the use of British tropical gear, as the tropical garments intended for the Fjs were not shipped out by the time of the invasion of Kreta.

This is a blog dedicated to the Fallschirmjäger (German Paratrooper) of World War Two. This is not intended to glorify, incite any political/racial ideology, or for that matter lighten the matters of combat in WWII. It is intended for those who have an interest in this fascinating and illustrious part of human history.
The main theme will be about the Fallschirmjäger, but also other armed forces of Germany in WWII.
