Telopte-Thelepte?
German Kampfgeschwader losslists of January 1943 in the Mediterranean speak of a location "Telopte" which must be situated somewhere between Algiers and Libya. Is this identical with "Thelepte" location and airfield southwest from Kasserine,Western Tunisia?

Re: Telopte-Thelepte?
I'm pretty sure it is, RolandF.
It's Thélepte in Tunesia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kasserine_Pass Have a look at the accompanying chart next to the text "Faïd Pass" - and look for "Thélepte" (just a bit to the SW of Kasserine.) In the text people speak of a battle with the Germans... The Battle of Kasserine was around JAN 1943. With kind regards, Piet |
