Thanks a lot, RudiS, Alain57,Matti Salonen and RT for your superquick response!
To be clear (I tried to explain some time ago already once to some members):
my friend Frans P.(you can have his private mail if necessary), has almost finished his book about the crashes during the 18 days war in Belgium.
Now he's making a recap from all items having a shortage of information. As he doesn't write english, I try to help him as much as I can and of course : with your kindfull help !
Most of his information comes from official archives. If you have any questions, pls do ask.
I have still some other questions to ask (for him).
RT: I did not mixed mixed the two men, only there was no space between the two lines with their names, so I taught it was 1 item....sorry !
Thks again, fredcompa

I would therefore strongly recommend that your friend gets Peter Cornwell's book on the Battle of France so as to avoid mistakes and to prevent nugatory work for you
