Post subject: Civil aircraft Junkers captured by the Germans in Greece

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to collect information on civil aircraft operated in Greece between 1931-1941 that were eventually captured by the Germans following the invasion of Greece. So far I have contradicting info that a new company was created by the Germans called (ARIEN - or something like that ..) that operated these aircraft in cooperation with Lufthansa. Another version is that at least 3 planes of the G24he type were destroyed on the ground during German bombing raids in Tatoi airport and the rest of the fleet (1 Junkers G24he and 3 Junkers Ju52-3/m) were taken over by Luftwaffe and operated as military transports in various war theaters including N. Africa. Here are the registrations and c/n of the planes:
SX-ACA (c/n 962) Junkers G24he SX-ACF (c/n 5984) Junkers Ju52-3/m
SX-ACB (c/n 963) SX-ACH (c/n 6004)
SX-ACD (c/n 964) SX-ACI (c/n 6025)
SX-ACE (c/n 965)

I will appreciate any info on the fate of these aircraft..

Best Regards
Michael
