General view of the airfield of Molaoi , Greece during May 1941

The idea for this blog came out of a strong personal interest for the history of the german airfield of Molaoi , Greece. Not to mention the incidents that occured in the extended area during the period of german occupation. This interest was progressively translated into a research that reached a depth , starting from the quest of information in the internet and reaching the study of unpublished archives from abroad as well as personal witnesses. The result of this seven-year research is the book soon to be published by ‘Idiomorfi’ Publications under the title ‘The airfield of Molaoi. Chronicle of the action of  Germans in the South-eastern Laconia 1941-1944’.

So reasonably someone asks ‘What’s the reason creating this specific blog when there is also a book been published? ‘. My conviction is that even though the book contains a lot of information , nevertheless there is a lot to be added , many untold personal stories , many incidents that are not known. My ambition is that this research becomes an endless feedback , a procedure that guides through the exchange and co-matching of information closer to the historical truth.

So this blog is an open invitation for co-research  in historical terms , with geographical context the region of south-eastern Laconia , and historical context the period of german occupation (1941-1944) , emphasizing to aviation history.

Good luck!!
