VESTE KRETA newspaper!

[LizardKing]

Hello all again!!

I found this newspaper on a dealer and i would like your opinions!
I know that newspapers aren't the most desirable item so they are rarely faked but for me this particular newspaper is more than extremely desirable so i feel obliged to ask here!!

These are the only photos the dealer has so i hope they help! Do you see anything wrong?


Thanks so much for the help!!

I finally got her in my hands! She is perfect!! I wish i could understand german... One question about the newspaper...
Who published these? FJ command fro the troops on Crete or the Army in general for Crete? If the occupational forces issued them on Crete why do they use the FJ eagle? Were there any FJ forces stationed on the island for the whole time of the occupation?

[lebus12]

For the FJ troops, they left the island to go to Russia and "new" battlefields.
I think this newspaper heve the FJ insignia because they were at the beginning on the island...
