Look like German paratrooper helmets to me.  If nothing else, the German bird on the side of `em gives `em away.

German Paratrooper helmets had the "ear cover" part cut down till it looked like a bowl. Have no reason why other than the regular shaped helmet would catch too much air and rip it off thier head.

Crete, it is:)



     This was "Location" and yes they are German paratropers, Note the Magors grave on the Front right hand row.
