Luftwaffe Potez claims on 27.05.40
 

Hi everyone,


I`m looking for possible victims of following Luftwaffe claims:
- 27.05.40 II/JG52 one Potez 63 at 19.25 Heiteren
- 27.05.40 I/JG53 two Potez 631 at 19.15 and 19.16 west of Noyon
I know that French Air Force lost on this day (27.05.40) three MB.152. Somebody knows the details?

TIA

Regards


Robert
