Giday Eric,
My initial thoughts are that the photograph has nothing to do with Sturmgruppe Granit and the fall of Eben Emael.
It is my belief, based upon photographs I have seen, that the Fallschirmj�ger of Sturmgruppe Eisen, including Oberj�ger Max Maier (Truppe 2, Sturmgruppe Granit), were buried in a mass grave.
I have several photographs that show the graves of Falschirmj�ger of Sturmgruppe Stahl. I believe that the eight fallen members of this group were buried in separae graves together in one row not far from the Veldwezelt bridge.
However, photographs that I have of the graves of Fallschirmj�ger of Sturmgruppe Beton suggest that they were buried at or close to where they fell. For example, one photograph I have shows two graves close to the Vroenhoven bridge.
Bearing all of the above in mind, it is my guess that the photograph above shows the grave of one of the fallen Fallschirmj�ger of Sturmgruppe Beton.
What do you think Oscar?
Best wishes,
Ian
