Thumbs up Re: Luftwaffe - Bomber Units over Metz-Frescaty on 10 May 1940

Bonjour Dan,

Thank you to provide such photos about the damaged zeppelin Hangar in Frescaty. It's rare to see such photos. It surprise me that minor damages were reported because this Hangar is no more serviceable for short period of time!

During this raid, 5 Amiots 143 were reported destroyed when they were parked under the Hangar. I guess this would be the Hangar but when you are looking closely the photos there are no wreck or french bombers parts. I don't know how this airfield was structured but other hangars could be also damaged.
Maybe you have others photos showing this evidence ie Amiot damaged by the bombs/hangar structure?

Cheers

Jerome
