Re: Luftwaffe Bomber Units over Troyes-Barberey on 10 May 1940

Not easy ...
I can't find datas about an air attack of troyes Before June 1940...
Myself, i do not have testimony.
We have only these photographs from the SHAA (now SHD), (french historical services) would have it there an error at the beginning thousand times repeat and repeat and repeat without serieuse checking, it would not be the first time.
The principal heavy German units in the area were KG 55 and 51, Greiff KG 55 used more He 111 than Edelweiss KG 51 more provided with Ju 88..
Troyes does not appear in the lists of the objectives of May 1940 of theses big units, if it acts of a target of opportunity, we will have well evil to find the person in charge...

I do not have data for KG 53 and 54 which could also have intervened...
They could also be repeat attacks Air-Ground from Junker 87 units ...

For moment, i found not interesting German loss or french claim circa Troyes for his May 1940 ...
Bsrg, Dan
