Help with locations - Italy/Sicily 1943
While researchin some operations, I have found two locations either in Italy or Sicily, that I cannot verify. They are THORNINK and PALAZZOLO. Also I have found a mission 'Patrol to Pover Siracusa'. I understand it is Patrol to Cover Siracusa but want to assure myself.
Thanks |

Re: Help with locations - Italy/Sicily 1943
Dear Mr. Grabowski,
Palazzolo should be , Palazzolo Acreide (that is often called simply Palazzolo) a small town 35 kilometres west of Siracusa. There is no Pover Siracusa as far as I know , so your assumption about the patrol to cover Siracusa should be exact. I don't know nothing about Thornink apart that in my opinion this is not an Italian name and there is no Italian town with this name. May be a German name or perhaps the name given by the Germans to an Italian place may be the contest of use can help for better understanding. Regards, Ludovico. |

THORNINK could be TAORMINA in Sicily: the number of the letters is the same and the differences could be due to typing or copying errors.

Re: Help with locations - Italy/Sicily 1943
Thank you to you both for the replies.
The mission I was looking for was Patrol E of Mount Etna from Catania to THORNINK, so indeed Taormina would make perfect sense! |
