Re: Plane wreck in the Aegean
Very true. The old people in Plimiri, at the south end of Rodos, told me that a JU52 was lying in the water, not far off shore, and that members of the crew had washed ashore and were buried in the local church cemetery. I tried but could not find the wreckage. This was from when the Italians switched sides in September, 1943. I did some digging around the ruins of the Italian barracks, and found many relics, including spent 98K cartridges and 30mm cannon casings.
