Re: Fight in the Aegean sea
Hallo all,
Firstly thanks to Byron for posting such interesting material. I cannot really add much. I believe Laurent is correct when he writes that THE ARMED ROVERS does not include all the attacks, and probably not all casualties either. Volume 2 of the very fine history of 603 Squadron briefly records an attack on an armed caique off Nios on this date (16 April 1944). One Beaufighter was damaged by light flak but reached its base safely. The squadron had no personnel losses (fatal) in the period 14 April to 14 May 1944. Not sure about POWs. It does appear that many of their sweeps over the Aegean Sea took in several islands or targets on most missions. However Nios is some 130 miles NW of Kapsali on Kythira, so 603 Squadron seems unlikely. No mention of this vessel in Jurgen Rohwer's CHRONOLOGY OF THE WAR AT SEA. regards, Martin Gleeson.
