Re: Greece, November 1943. II./KG 54, II./KG 6 and, I./St.G. 3. Any data confirming escort of Italian fighters...?

Hello Veltro, hello old friends,

I really never heard about a participation of italian planes during the battle of Dodecanes. There is nothing about it in all wardiaries of "Heersgruppe E" or "Militärbefehlshaber Griechenland".
Units of KG 54 were on greek soil only in the second half of 1942, i have no info about them over Dodekanes.
IV./JG 27 left Greece 21.10.43 to Podgorica and Tirana but came back middle November and took part by the operations there.

These are the units with intervention at this region:

Einsatz Staffel KG 100, 5./KG 100 (Gleitbombenstaffel), III. and IV./JG 27, 11./ZG 26, II./KG 51, I. u. II./St.G. 3, Chef-A.W.-Gruppe, 3./LG 1. , III./LG 1, II./KG 6.
For transport were angaged 2. u. 6./TG 4, parts of 1./TG 2 and parts of II./TG 2.
For reco 2./SAGr. 125 and SAGr. 126

regards
byron
