Greetings from Ottawa,
The book "Albania in Occupation and War: From Fascism to Communism 1940-1945" by Owen Pearson says that when Greek forces occupied Sarande on 6 December 1940 they found in the harbour a half-submerged wreck of an Italian destroyer sunk by British aircraft on 4 December. Other sources indicate that two Blenheims of 30 Squadron attacked Sarande on 4 December and scored at least one hit on an Italian destroyer at or near the port, as it was shelling Greek forces. Could anyone provide the name of the Italian ship?
Thanks,
Rob Stuart
