Re: Friendly fire WWII
You're welcome Brian.
It's a strange day as my two searches so far today have each led to the discovery of a friendly fire incident with only a very small connection to the subject of my search. Here is the second: on 6 April 1944, retreating British and Indian troops near Imphal were attacked by Allied aircraft, suffering casualties (at the end of the page, it is not possible to copy text) http://www.ww2imphalcampaign.com/art...f-kanglatongbi |

Re: Friendly fire WWII
On 1 December 1941, an Italian column was going to attack a British base when at around 1600 hrs it was bombed in error by German Stukas near Bir Berraneb (Libya). In the column were armored cars of the Polizia Africa Italiana. One was hit and three crew, vicebrigadiere Enzo Bertoglio, guardia Renzo Anelli and guardia Anelli Renzo, were killed.
http://www.cadutipolizia.it/fonti/19...1941anelli.htm On 27 January 1944 the Italian town of Caiazzo, liberated since three months and 40 miles from the front, was bombed in error by US bombers and 18 people were killed. http://asmvpiedimonte.altervista.org...guerra_43.html Last edited by Laurent Rizzotti; 19th February 2016 at 16:19. |

Re: Friendly fire WWII
On 7 August 1942, VT-8 bombed several places on Mailata Island, Solomons, far away from any Japanese position.
