Re: Luftwaffe Units - Attack of Mourmelon airfield on 13 May'40
Hi Jerome,
Difficult to give 100% certainty.
But it was most likely II./KG55, that attacked different targets in the Vouziers-Reims area (so probably including Mourmelon) around 6.30 a.m. This is the only big sortie on this area that I have for May 13, given that most Luftwaffe units were occupied over Dinant (in the morning) and Charleville to Sedan (after 11.00 a.m.).
During this attack KG55 lost 5 Heinkels to combined and repeated attacks by No 1 Sqn, GC I/5, ECMJI/16 and No. 73 Sqn.
Does this fit to the timing you have?
Regards, Pieter
