No, is not Crete but Italy.
Men are in the small village of Fontana Liri, 50 Km north of Cassino.

Hm, I'd say they're from a Luftwaffe Field Division or HG.

The caption says they are carrying water and if you look closely you'll see the white cross on the can.

From: http://www.ww2photomuseum.com/K98-2.html
In an image from the Bundesarchiv, a group of Fallschirmjager (Paratroopers) patrol a slope in Italy.
The soldier nearest the camera carries a K-98 with bayonet attached. Of particular interest in this
photo is the extremely rare "Palm" pattern camouflage being worn
