Re: German airfield Topolia in Greece

Hi Larry,

Topolia was not an emergency landing ground at the beginning, a lot of soldiers (paratroopers and Gebirgsjäger 5. Geb.Div.) took off from there with the Jus 52 against Crete
Stab/Kampfgeschwader z.b.V. 2

Stab/Kampfgruppe z.b.V. 60

Stab/Kampfgruppe z.b.V. 101
Stab/Kampfgruppe z.b.V. 102


I think, after Crete, Topolia was not used any more. The Germans, as you say, may have kept it as an emergency landing ground.
