KG losses on 11th june, 1940
Hi all,
i would like today to confirm an old story in my family : my grandfather, an infantryman, was reputed to have shot down a german bomber with a machine gun, on that day, maybe a stuka as the "legend" said. The official story of the regiment states that two bombers fell in the vicinity of the "Montagne de Reims" on that day, the first, probably the one credited to my grandfather, " is falling and burning in the forest 5 kms south of Mont Chenot", the second fell North of Reims. The Mont Chenot (Chenot Hill) is located approx. 10 kms south of Reims, ivo Of villers-Allerand. If Anybody could give some details about it, It would be great. Philippe |
