Luftwaffe losses at Athens-Tatoi on 17 May 1941
It is ‘common knowledge’ that Junkers G 38 GF+GG was destroyed in an attack by RAF Wellingtons (148 Squadron) on 17 May 1941. So why is it not entered in the German Verlustmeldungen now available in digitalised form? Volume 2 (RL 2-III/753) covers 1 January to 31 May 1941, and volume 3 (RL 2-III/754) covers 1 June to 31 July 1941, including a lot of Benachrichtigungen and late entries from the earlier period.
The only losses at Athens on 17 May that are listed are one Ju 52 at ‘Athen’, four Ju 52 at ‘Athen-Kalamaki’ and an Hs 126 at ‘Athen-Tatoi’. There is no G 38 before or after 17 May either. Any suggestions why the Junkers G 38 loss is not listed? |
