Re: Rhodos airfield Gadurra, Calato
Hi Rudi,
I lived there a long time ago, so I'm not sure if the barracks foundations are still there, but it was located on a promontory just near the village. There was much evidence of fighting there, including barbed wire, trenches and many spent casings. I talked to the keeper of the cemetery in Plimiri, and he witnessed the actual combat between Allied fighters and the JU, apparently it crashed into the sea about a kilometre off the beach, and several bodies washed ashore, which he helped to bury. |
