Re: Maleme, Crete, 20-05-1941, DFS 230 + JU 52

Hi Risto,

I./L.L.G. 20.05.41 Tanagra departure of 48 gliders, Eleusis and Megara departure of 26 gliders.
From the 66 glider pilots, 24 were killed, 17 wounded or missed.
The Geschwader had not standard codes on the Ju 52 transportes, just different ones, like DA+FF, H4+GL and so on.
On the Crete gliders no code letters existed.
