Giday everyone,
Oscar posted a photograph of Eddi Schmidt standing beside a wounded Fallschirmj�ger of Sturmgruppe Granit. A copy of this same photograph can be found on page 37 of the book, "Fort Eben Emael", by Simon Dunstan.
Dunstan suggests that the wounded Fallschirmj�ger is Ernst Grechza and that the bandages may be covering injuries that were inflicted by Wenzel's fists. However, as Dunstan states, there is no evidence that suggests that Grechza was wounded.
Bearing the above in mind, I am wondering whether the wounded Fallchirmj�ger might be Franz Janowski, whose nose was injured by an exploding granade. In addition, I believe that it is possible Janowski may have also got something in one of his eyes, such as dirt or blood, and wherein his eyes were bandaged in order to keep them closed, (reminds me of when I had my nose brocken playing hockey). What do others think?
Best wishes,
Ian
