Re: Valence airfield
Eleusis really got pounded, didn't it? The heavy expenditure of air power on this one airfield goes to show that the Allies considered it a high priority target as they began their mission to subdue the Luftwaffe's capabilities in the eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans.
Interestingly, most of the after-raid damage assessments by the Germans for nearly all of the attacks you listed are available in the surviving Heeresgruppe E and Heeresgruppe F daily reports. I've read most of them and there is great disparity between the actual damage reported by the Germans and what the Allied air crews could observe from the air and through reconnaissance photos taken after the raid. There was a lot of "wishful thinking" on the part of MAAF back in Italy! L.
