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
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."
