  ** translation of describtion ** Second World War. A group of (German) soldiers has found a temporary restingplace at an olive-orchard. In the front a machinegun. Greece, Crete, 1941.

• Chris M.72 said:

  The soldiers are German paratroopers, since the white canisters are airborne containers. These containers carried weapons, ammo and other supplies. The weapons in the front are (obsolete) anti-tank rifles.

• spotless oven said:

  The use of these containers often led into unnecessary losses, as the paras only carried small weapons - usually pistols - and little amounts of ammo on their body, when they jumped from the plane. If they didn´t find the containers or were unable to reach them because of enemy fire, they weren´t able to fight for long.

  i believe that that olive orchard is near where the nz troops on crete had their main concerntration, as have seen a very similar background to pictures of the kiwi troops.

• Chris Harrison said:

  there are millions of olive groves in Crete and they all look like this!
