Maybe I'm wrong but I suppose on Henschel fuselage is yellow band partialy visible, so in my opinion Greece is more than possible.

Definitely Emil; especialy that narrow...
All the elements are in favor of Greece; near scraps being loaded to repair shop; Hot enough for the guys being almost naked. Larissa, June 1941 sounds very good to me.
Left Byron's comments, maybe?

Hi again,

Trikkala is a city in central Greece not far away from Larissa.See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trikala
In that area in April 41 major air combat took place involving all this kind of aircraft shown in this pic.In the summer 41 it was common to collect all this scrap and send it back to Germany due to the lack of metal.

regards

Hi Byron,

Is the Fl. Horst Trikala the same with the Kalabaka-Vasiliki place? Do any pics from these airfields exist?

thx

regards

I don`t think it s the same one with Kalabaka. It had to be in Flamouli/Trikala, here a after war pic from the archive of Brigadier Babassakis
