Re: Allied bombing of german airfield in greece
I have in my hands a greek historical magazine (Peiraika, January 2003) that is dedicated to the bomb raids against Piraeus.
During the WWII Piraeus suffered two major bomb raids. The first one (german) was that of the 6/4/1941 with the explosion of the british ship Glen Fraser and the second one (allies) was that of 11/1/1944.
In the second one the city of Piraeus counted about 700 dead.As for the Germans they had 10 men dead , 6 wounded and 3 missing. The Italians had 4 dead and 43 wounded. I don't have further information about the names of the German soldiers but at least you can be sure about the date of their death.
Hope this helps.
