Exceptional Fallschirmjäger Photo Grouping – Kreta 1941 (63 Photos + Postcard + Death Card)
€0,01
Outstanding and historically significant grouping of 63 original wartime photographs, 1 postcard, and 1 death card, all related to a Fallschirmjäger (German paratrooper) who fought during the legendary Battle of Crete (Kreta), 1941.
This rare set offers an authentic and personal glimpse into the life and service of a German paratrooper, including:
-
Striking images of Fallschirmjäger in full gear
-
Action shots over Greece and on the ground in Crete
- A unique photo of a paratrooper holding a sniper rifle – a standout highlight! (See the photo with the PAK)
-
Candid moments of daily life, movement, and operations on the island
Also included is a death card for a soldier from Fallschirm-Sanitäts-Abteilung, D XI. Fliegerkorps, who was killed west of Heraklion – a powerful and somber connection to the brutal combat experienced on Crete. Whether this soldier was part of the same unit or a close comrade remains unclear, but the inclusion adds valuable historical depth.
A visually rich and emotionally resonant grouping—ideal for collectors of Fallschirmjäger, airborne operations, or Battle of Crete memorabilia. Groupings of this size and content are becoming increasingly scarce.
