Crete. Quite probably 23 May 1941 when General der Fallschirmtruppe Kurt Student (Kommandierender General XI. Fliegerkorps) arrived on the island with his staff to oversee his forces. This photo features, from left to right: Oberleutnant Gerhard "Eul" Schacht (Adjutant XI. Fliegerkorps), General Student, Oberst Hermann-Bernhard Ramcke (Kommandeur Fallschirmjäger-Sturm-Regiment 1), and Oberleutnant Bodo Göttsche (Nachrichten-Offizier Fallschirmjäger-Sturm-Regiment 1). Ramcke appears to be the only man to have landed on Crete wearing a tropical uniform!
