Hi,
Having travelled to over 100 military war graves locations worldwide I am now going to CRETE this time to play my pipes at the memorials to the civilians whi died during and after The Battle Of Crete.
I would appreciate any information/photos/locations etc. I am setting off alone on the 2nd September 2008 and anticipate being in Crete for three weeks.

This was either in Crete or Greece and there is a memorial to him in the village where this happened.
The photos were taken by another German soldier.
This is not a false story but true and would anyone know where this occured.
It ***** me off when I lose something like that. |
