Right

German name would be:
Katholische Missionskirche in Vuna-Pope bei Kokopo Herbertshöhe Deutsch-Neuguinea, Bismarck-Archipel

Catholic missionary church in Vuna-Pope near Kokopo, Herbertshoehe in German-New Guinea and so on ..

Found this an interesting read. The german colony had been taken by australian troops already in 1914:

There was only a german civilian police force and some Tolai men to 'defend'.

Over to you

I found it in a mom-and-pop-store in Nusfjord, a picturesque little village on the Lofoten Islands.

Correct, over to you Catfish. The Battle of Crete was the last time the Fallschirmjägers where used as paratroopers. Hitler decided that as the causalities where so high that for the rest of the war the Fallschirmjägers where used as heavy infantry.
