Re: Ju-52/3 M KGzbV 5 may 10th 1940 Belgium
I can't help you with information on the plane or it's crew, but on the 10th of may, as part of "Fall Gelb" (the invasion of Holland, Belgium and France), there was on operation called "Stahl, Beton, Eisen, Granit"
Stahl (steel) = taking of the bridge over the Albert canal at Veldwezelt, Belgium
Beton (concrete) = taking of the bridge over the Albert canal at Vroenhoven, Belgium
Eisen ( iron) = taking of the bridge over the Albert canal at Kanne, Belgium
Granit (granite) = the attack on the fortress of Eben-Emael, Belgium.
Your Ju 52 probably took part in one of those missions.
