Hi,

SUPERB photos.

Superb photos indeed!

The first one is amazing.

I can't make out the name of the town where the parade was held after Kreta.

More confirmation that the heavy weapons units had priority in the issue of splinter step-ins before Kreta.

Well, that is interesting. Was that their garrison town?

I just found out there is a DDR Fallschirmjäger Kameradschaft in Schwerin;

Forgive my ignorance, but any ideas about the branch piping of the four visible Heer tunic collars in the 1st image? Wartime significance &/or explanation for this?
AWESOME PHOTOS OF GREAT HISTORICAL VALUE! ��

This was a part of a Heeres unit ( Panzerabwehr Abteilung 33) , which changed to the Luftwaffe and formed a new unit. Before this, they had to absolve the jump shool. In der old Heeres uniforms.
This picture was taken early 1940
