Re: Seeking French fighter unit that attacked an He111 over Evreux, France, on 9 June 1940
Hi all,

According to Radtke, I & II./KG54 converted to Ju88 from June 3rd 1940 onwards while III./KG54 remained operational with He111 untill July 13th 1940.

So or Radtke has got it wrong, or Specht did not fly with II./KG54 but with another Group or Geschwader which received the old He111's of I & II./KG54 and didn't have time to apply the proper tactical codes.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Maybe Merlin can have a look in Specht's flugbuch for the tactical codes of the other He111s Specht flew?

Regards,
Rudi.
