Re: Crete 1943 - Luftwaffe units
Hi Brian,
There is an english publication by Barrie Pitt "Special Boat Squadron - the story of the SBS in the Mediterranean" with the raids on Crete during the years 1942, 1943 and 1944.
In his booklet Richard Sand is referring for 1943:
Operation "Albumen", 2 Commando groups (Lieutenents Ken Lamonby (+), Lassen, Sutherland and Rowe, Sergeant Nicholson, Corporals Greaves and Holmes, private Jones and the Greek Kimon Legonfakis).
First Cdo arrived at 23.06.43 in Cup Kokinochos, the second under Ltn.Rowe at 27./28.06.43.
On the 05.07.43 there were only 8 Ju 88 and some older planes stationed in Kastelli, the Cdos destroied 5 Ju 88.
