Re: III/ZG76, July 12th-Aug.11th.40
After July 11, 1940, III./ZG76 remained based at Laval with Lannion as their forward base. According to the Flugbuch of Uffz Alois Haas of 7 Staffel, he flew no further missions until August 8 but whether this was typical across the entire unit I do not know. Their losses on July 11 can hardly be described as crippling so the hiatus was probably due to a period of settling-in and necessary preparation for the next phase of offensive operations over England.
