Kommando Carmen was housed in an old villa in via Milazzo 3, Bergamo, Italy, not so far from Orio al Serio airbase.
The planes flown was at the end of war Ju 188.
The Kommando had any losses around Bergamo, like you can read on Nick and Ferdinando's book "Air War Italy", great opera full of particulars.
Thank you Nick, thank you Ferdinando.
