ju-87, north italy, Mr Beale can help?

Thanks, but i'm referring to the Dolo River valley, not the town of Dolo near Venice.

The nearest village to the crash river is Civago, province of Reggio Emilia but very close to the Tuscany border, running two miles to the south near Passo delle Forbici. The town in the other side of the mountain is Castelnuovo Grafagnana.

The Antipartisan operation in that area is called "Wallenstein 3", started on july 30 1944, and had his end on august 6 1944. All the village in Dollo valley has been burned, all the partisan unit dispersed, and the civil peoples dispersed in the woods, as the old old woman that saw the crash.

Also the SOE mission in the area (ENVELOPE, leaded by Captain Johnston) has been disbanded, and no records about the crash has been found in his messages to Bari HQ.

But DAF records show that 600 Squadron Beaufighters shot down a ju-87 in the point L2126, a mile and half just north of Civago, another southwest Arezzo, and a JU188 damaged over tyrrhenian sea.
