Re: Crashed JU52 "G6*CC" in May 1941 over Crete.

With reference to G6+KL, Shores et al on page 351 of "Airwar for Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete" records the following about the assault on Heraklion at 1800 on 20/05/41:-

"The big tri-motors crashed, or glided down to force-land all round the area, 15 burnt-out wrecks subsequently being found in the immediate Heraklion sector alone, while others fell in the sea KGrzbV 101 bore the brunt of the losses, at least eight of this unit's aircraft being shot down including G6+KL (Oblt Hans Rehrmann), G6+GK (Ofw Heinz Otto) and G6+EK (Uffz Helmut Bierwendt)."

And Rosch lists G6+CC under KGrzbV 102 on page 31 - no mention of sources however...
