Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Crete Cuff Title, or Crete Cuff Band, (German: Ärmelband Kreta) was a World War II German military decoration awarded to Wehrmacht servicemen who took part in the battle of Crete between 20 and 27 May 1941. While a number of German units had worn cuff titles as part of their regimental or corps insignia, this was the first World War II operation where a cuff title was awarded as a campaign award. Close-up photo of the cuff band sewn onto the left sleeve of a soldier's tunic on display at the Second World War Exhibition of the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum (Forsvarsmuseet) in Oslo, Norway. Photo taken on February 24, 2020.
