Re: ZG 76 - 7 June 1940
The three claims filed by II./ZG76 were timed between 5.20 – 5.40 a.m. (BST).
GC II/10 were engaged by Bf110s as recorded by Dulac (cited in Gillet VCF III p41).
Half an hour later, shortly after 6.00 a.m. (BST), GC II/4 were engaged by a formation of 20-25 Bf109s over Villers-Cotterêts as recorded by Rubin (cited in Gillet VCF III p40).
Claims by 6./JG53 and 1./JG2 were timed 6.05 – 6.10 a.m. (BST) east of Compiègne.
Given the same air space and proximity of timings, a degree of overlap may be argued – even expected, but I viewed these as separate actions. If there is any other evidence that should be considered then I will be pleased to learn of it.
Over to you Robert.
