I am looking for German photos to include of the 'Battle of Leros"

The books look interesting, I hope you find original photos to include.

I can't help with photos but I should like to recommend a book I've just finished reading:
'Churchill's Folly' Leros and the Aegean by Anthony Rogers ISBN 0-304-36151-8 published in 2003.
I suppose you have read it but just incase you haven't I've put it here. There are many refs to LRDG, SBS and SAS(one only). There is also a good set of photos, and the Introduction has good info and names.
Hope this helps.
