Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Dear friends,

After many years of research and study of almost all the existing war diaries of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine), the priceless help of eager friends and the bibliography created by industrious people that dealt with the subject with much love, I wish to present my new book:

DIE KRIEGSMARINE IN DER ÄGÄIS IM II. WK. 1941-1944

Schiffe, Einheiten, Fp.Nr., Offiziere, Gefechte

thatis,

THE GERMAN NAVY IN THE AEGEAN SEA DURING WORLD WAR II, 1941-1944
Ships, units, fieldpostnumbers, officers, and navalengagements

BYRON TESAPSIDES

Hardcover, 302 pages, 120 photos (14 in color) and naval engagements’ sketches
Language: German
ISBN : 978-960-930812-0
Price: 32.5 Euros + shipping costs (courier for Europe 8.- Euros)
Orders:tesapsides@gmail.com

I have tried to collect all units of the German Navy operating in Greece during the occupation, their personnel, field post numbers, the names of all German officers and of the boat/ship commanders.
All the above refers to the Coastal Protection Flotillas (Küstenschutzflottillen) Attika, Saloniki, Lemnos, Crete, Dodecanese, Western Greece and Peloponnese.

I, also, thought it wise to collect the names and information about all the motorboats (around 2,000) in German service and the ones that joined the Allies, based on Mr. Hristos Dounis’ excellent book.

Various engagements of German ships/boats with Allied airplanes are described in the original documentation of the war diaries.
