Thanks in advance,

Rudi -

If you are absolutely sure the November 1943 date is correct, then the men could have been victims of one of the numerous November-December 1943 Allied attacks on airfields and other infrastructure in the Athens-Piraeus area. You can go to this web site and find all of these attacks:
