Re: Luftwaffe Units Crete May-June 1944
Hello Chris,

there were no Ju-88 escorting the german merchant vessels on the 01.06.44 (Sabine, Gertrude, Tanais and Anita escorted from one destroyer, three torpedoboats and two R-boats).
According to the book "Alamein to the Alps (with a very extended description)" there were only 4 Me 109s (JG 27) and 4 Arados (Aufkl.Gru. 4./126). In addition to this some barrage balloons.
The same is refaired in the magazine "the Queen`s Squdron, a history of No. 603 squadron RAAF".

regards

Byron
