The jump smock was used by German Paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger) not only in Crete but in many front- line operations from the Eastern Front, Normandy and Italian Campaign. Meant to keep equipment from tangling with parachute lines it was to be discarded upon landing however it became a practical smock so soldier retained it especially since it was waterproof.
