To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

To the Young German Paratrooper of the Battle of Crete who never set foot on Crete

Sweet dream of youth,

You didn't have time to feel!

They put the Cretans on us. 

Come and humiliate.

 

But Crete resisted 

as she was taught.

For FREEDOM the Cretan 

and he desires for HONOR.

 

The Cretan with Lightning 

His Thoria was built.

That's why it thunders and shines 

in front of his Freedom!

 

And the lightning struck you 

Unlucky Soldier!

And you lost ignominy too. 

your precious youth.

 

What mother would mourn you!! 

Who stumbled into crying!

Her pain is unbearable too 

and the drama is incredible.

 

A small child without a mustache 

with your life ahead of you!

You came to Crete ingloriously, 

to leave your bones.

 

Plans of a paranoid person! 

to achieve!

But Crete turned it around.

 and the executions began.

 

A madman created you. 

tough Nazi for action….

But it was the only logical thing to do. 

Crete should react!!

 

Now the Holy Land of 

hosts you too...

Beneath Crete, the mountains 

the complaints.

 

Crete is always Free 

The pen will write!

And you, always on fire 

Let a candle remain!

 

Comfort in Heaven 

and may we find redemption...

But how dare he talk about Crete! 

Never be surprised.

IN GERMAN – TRANSLATION BY MYRONA EMMA GIANNAKAKI, LAWYER OF ATHENS
 
To the
Toten deutschen Fallschrimjäger,
der, in der Schlacht von Kreta, nicht dazu kam
to set his foot on Crete
 
Den süssen Traum der Jungend zu kosten, kamst du nicht dazu!
Du kamst aber um die Kreter zu erniedrigen, wie man dir aufgetragen hat.
Aber Kreta leistete Widerstand, wie es gewohnt war.
Für FREEHEIT und HRE der Kreter gibt sein Leben.
 
Kreter's Anblick ist aus Blitzstrahlen angefertigt.
Darum blitz und donnert er angesichts seiner Freiheit!
 
Und die Blitzstrahlen, unglücklicher Soldat, haben dich trefeffen!
Und so hast du, unrühmlich, deine teuere Jugend verloren.
 
Welche Mutter hat deine Entbehrung beweint!! Wer ist vom Weinen “geberst”!
Unterräglich ist ihr Schmerz und unglaubig ihr Trauer
 
Sehr jung und beinahe noch bartlos mit dem ganzen Leben vor dir!
Kamst du nach Kreta, um deine Knochen unrühmlich zu hinterlassen.
 
Pläne eines Wahnsinnigers!, die du ühren solltest!
Aber Kreta hat sie umgeworfen und so began die Executions.
 
Ein Narr hat dich zu einem grusamen Nazi geformt, zur Handlung bereit...
Kreta sich zu widerstehen-widersetzen, war aber das einzig vernünftiges!!
 
Jetzt hat die, unter den klagenden Bergen, heilige Erde von Kreta sogar dich beherbergt…
 
Kreta stets freigesinnt wird der Griffel der Geschichte schreiben!
Und für dich soll immer ein Leuchter angezündet bleiben!
 
Trost und Erlösungen solt ihr im Himmel finden...
Aber Kreta's Bravery should Ihr niemals bezweifeln.
