Let K be a field of characteristic p and G a nonabelian metacyclic finite p
-group. We give an explicit list of all metacyclic p-groups G, such that th
e group algebra KG over a field of characteristic p has a filtered multipli
cative K-basis. We also present an example of a non-metacyclic 2-group G, s
uch that the group algebra KG over any field of characteristic 2 has a filt
ered multiplicative K-basis.
