      Fallschirmjäger monument

      Could this be the site?
      One of the pictures from http://www.fallschirmjaeger-denkmal.de shows a neighboring building with big advertising boards on its roof. The same picture also shows an area at the side of the monuments approach path, with cars parked.

      co ordinates are; 35 deg 30' N 23 deg 59' E

      (then again, i've probably got this completely wrong)

      kurth- great photo of the monument during construction.

          I think that I can speak as a fair viewer of over two hundred monuments when I say that the Eagle should be retored to the Crete memorial, very few monuments (none that I have seen) are extravagant, the men deserve at least a pile of rocks. In Germany there are very few monument sto the second world war that I have seen. We clearly know who the victors of the war are.

            No, this is to commemorate a plane-crash - the plane just missed the nearby airport of Heraklion.

            I learned this story from local policemen in 1998, when I was working at Heraklion for 4 month.

            IMO its funny they took the german diving eagle as the symbol for this monument.
