Who knows the source of this FJR2 Kreta photo?

[jmark]

Hi,

Does anybody know the source of this photo?



The caption with it reads:
Paratroopers from FJR.2 advancing from Rethymnon. Note the knocked-out allied tank. The origin owner of the photos, Leutnant Harry Kosche can be seen as number 3 in the row,wearing any no helmet.

I came across it on the following website:

I'm trying to track down the owner of this photo and perhaps find more belonging to Leutnant Harry Kosche.

Can anyone help?

All the best,
Jason

Well well well... thanks very much for the quick and definitive reply, guys!

Shaun, I checked out your link and was surprised to see the name "Hans Bialkowski". You probably don't know this (unless you have his documents) but he was with the FJ unit that fought at Stalingrad.
