Cdr. of the airfield Kalamaki
Hi,
a difficult question to all, who was the commander of the airfield KALAMAKI by Athens (otherwise ELLINIKON or CHASANI) in the time period 04.44 to 07.44. Somebody claims that his father together with other Greek partisans abducted him and brought him to the mountains. regards Byron |

Re: Cdr. of the airfield Kalamaki
Byron,
Not sure if this is of help, but - In the following discusion there is a post #15 (yours) - http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...ght=204%2FXVII You have mentioned "(04.44-10.44) = Fl.H.Kdtr. E 204/XVII / Kalamaki Kdr., Obstlt. Slegel" although Slegel does not appear the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries.
