Re: New Zealand PoWs killed in a/c accident at Crete

Hi Errol

I've checked my records - admittedly compiled many moons ago when I was reseraching for AIR WAR YUGOSLAVIA GREECE AND CRETE - and can't pinpoint such a loss, although it would appear that two Ju52/3ms were lost due to 'enemy action' in the air on that date. Certainly, POWs and German wounded were being evacuated by Ju52/3ms to Greece at that time, so your suggestion that the two New Zealanders were lost in these circumstances are quite feasible.

Cheers
Brian
