Seeking French fighter unit that attacked an He111 over Evreux, France, on 9 June 1940
Hello,
We're recently added to the EoE loss DB the following entry:
"9 June 1940 Western Front: Stabsschwarm II./KG54 Heinkel He111P (2901). Returned to Cologne-Butzweilerhof on one engine with tail and rudder both badly damaged in fighter attack over Evreux (France). FF Fw Fritz Specht and rest of crew all unhurt. Aircraft B3+AC damage state not recorded.
1) Can anyone ID the specific He111 subtype from this W.Nr.?
2) This is believed to have been caused by a French fighter attack. Can anyone ID the specific incident and fighter unit involved in this attack? The specific time of the attack isn't known.
Thanx for any help.
Regards,
Larry Hickey
