Re: Hptm Meyer (?) landing a Ju 52 at Maleme on 21st May 1941?

This was Hptm Kleye (not Meyer), he is often quoted as landing on the beach "at Spilia" which is highly unlikely as Spilia is inland 2km south of Kolymbari. Seems likely he landed on the beach between Tavronitis and Rapaniana.
Not sure if he survived the war but it seems likely as only one officer of that name, Oberstleutnant Hans-Otto Kleye is in the Volksbund archive, Kia Italy at "Punkt 80" on 10-02-1944, presumably ground troops.
