Re: HE.111 over Vitry le François -May, 10th, 1940
Hello again Franck,
A French 2e Bureau Report (SHAA 787) gives the time of the He111 landing as ‘vers 6 H.30 dans la region d’ILLANGE’ but please note this was reported as taking place on May 10, 1940. A subsequent report puts the location as ‘near Buzy’ which I take to be Buzy – Darmont, west of Conflans-en-Jarnisy, and thus a good deal closer to Vitry than the original location reported. The four crewmen all named in the French report were reported lost on May 11, 1940, in contemporary German records, which I chose to follow, but be aware that there is still considerable confusion in this case. It remains unlikely that this Heinkel has anything to do with the GC III/7 claims you are trying to identify.
