Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hello friends,
I have here some friendly fire attacks of german aircraft against german troops during the invasion of Greece. I have this data from Golla, Karl-Heinz: Der Fall Griechenlnds 1941, p. 134ff.
06.04.1941:
a) in the morning troops (mainly III./InfRgt 125) attacking the "Werk E" of the greece fortress-system Usita-Paljurjones are bombed by Stuka - there are "erhebliche Verluste".
b) in the morging, during attack of the 3./PiBtl 659 and III./GebJgRgt 85 on the "Werk Istibei-West", some Stukas missed the targets and dropped bombs against the positions of GebArtRgt 95 (5 dead, 3 wounded) and vehicles-column of FlaMGBtl 609 (8 vehicles are destroyed).
c) in the afternoon a Hs 126 bombed accidently the positions of GebJgRgt 85 (6 dead, 6 severly wounded).
Greetings
Darius
