Corrected number of victims and other information[edit]

The correct number of victims is 115 (as many as listed on the monument). The village was not burnt. Apparently it had been bombed three months earlier (in Sept. 1943) by German planes in reprisals for other activities by Greek resistance fighters (see here, Dec. 18, 2020). The perpetrators were from the 4th Polizei Division of SS, probably a company from the 8th Regiment under Hstuf. Hermann Schmalkuche (see here, in Greek), but the reference is inaccurate in many aspects and this is unconfirmed by other sources. --Flashdart2 (talk) 03:15, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
