Greek Ju-52-3/m and G-24 captured by the Germans

[Michael Pararas]

I wonder if anyone could provide info on 4 Junkers G-24 and 3 Ju-52 3/m captured by the Germans at Dekeleia (Tatoi) airport near Athens during the German invasion of Greece.

Dear Michael

I'll show you mine if you show me yours... Please share with us what you know about Dekeleia being overrun so we all know.

The following is from Hugo Junkers webpage. It takes a lot time trawlingthrough the Ju-52 production list so I shall let you do that yourself.

there is also mention of a G24 leased with a Greek name and I don't know if this has any relevance:
