Re: Allied bombing of german airfield in greece

Thanks everyone for your input. Very much appreciated.

There was one word on the back of the picture that I till now couldn't translate. It turns out it's "Kalamaki". So the complete text reads: "Auf dem Heldenfriedhof in Piraeus bei Athen - Kalamaki, November 1943".
(On the war hero's cemetery of ....).

According to the armyairforces website Kalamaki airfield was bombed twice in Novermber 1943: On the 15 & 17th. So most likely these german soldiers died in one of these attacks.

Regards,
Rudi.
