The first word is "Waffenstillstand" [= ceasefire] but the rest is giving me trouble.
"Im Schneetreiben am Waldesrand
3. - 8. März 40
Tross mit nachgeführten Pferden"
...i.e.:
"In driving snow by the edge of the forest
3 - 8 March 40
train* with horses being brought forward"
*) not as in "railway train", of course, but as in "baggage train", "supply train" etc.
Very interesting photos. Thanks for sharing
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
The poorly legible text on the back says:
"Zwei Kretenser [something crossed out here] die sich durch plumpe Anbiederungsversuche irgendwelche Vorteile von den gelandeten Fallschirmjägern versprechen"
...i.e.:
"Two Cretans expecting some kind of benefits from the landed paratroopers by making a plump smarmy approach."
