Marita Information....
Hello Diciassette,
Since no one has stepped up to the plate to help, I'll give it a try.
First, for a decent OOB look at Leo Niehorsters website with the German Balkan invasion forces:
http://niehorster.orbat.com/500_eto/_41-04_balkans.htm
This has everything for German military forces involved.
For maps you need to get a copy of "Der Balkanfeldzug und die Eroberung von Kreta-1941" by Klaus-Jürgen Thies. This is the best source for the maps. A good secondary source is a book produced in the 1953 by the US Army and reproduced several times since. It is titled "The German Campaigns in the Balkans-Spring 1941" by George Blau. Currently it is sold by the Naval & Military Press LTD out of England. It has a good narrative, a few maps, but no OOB.
Finally, the only way to get any of the German wartime reports is either through the Bunds Archiv in Germany or through the National Archives in the United States. No one as far I know has printed public copies of the war diaries, meldungen, etc.
Hope this helps, Bill
