Re: Stuka attack on Metaxas line, Greece 1941
Dear Pelagonia,
If you read carefuly what i wrote you will understand it better. The meaning is, the Stukas didn`t achive anything except some scratches on the reinforced concret of the bunkers.
I visited the fortifications several times and i know first hand the situation.
Please read the attached document of the 100. Gebirgsjägerregiment (5. Geb.Jäg.Division) and get a better impression.
Apart from that, Salonica was captured from the 2. Panzerdivision which penetrated the jugoslavian border while the defenders of the bunkers were still fighting. They abandoned them or capitulated on the 10th.of April and after the fall of Salonica.
Only a few of the bunkers were taken.
