Re: KG200 Greece/Rhodes/Crete 1944-45

Dear friends,

My saurces about the big strike of 01.06.44 are:

1) the german wardiary of 31. Bordflakabteilung
2) the book "Alamein to the Alps 454 squadron, RAAF 1941-1945" by Marc Lax

From both saurces i get the inpression that the allies`casualties were caused by antiaircraft fires of the german ships and not by any Arados. There was only one los believed shot down by escorting Me 109 s, (warrand officer George Liels with his navigator flying officer Ed Quinlan, wireles operator Max Schultz and flying officer Max Short).

There is no indication about the fate of the 8 german airmen. Attached a page of the book about the los of the Arados.

regards
byron
