Forward Base for III./ZG 76 - France Sep-Oct 1940
Hi all
Can anyone confirm the name of the forward base used by III./ZG 76, shown in the attached Flugbuch entry for 27th September and 1st October 1940? I am struggling to read this one. Thanks for any help. Best wishes Tim O.

Tim,

It should be Dompierre (Orne), about 60 km North of Laval, where III./ZG 76 was based.

Thank you both for your input.
Dompierre-du-Chemin looks like a very strong possibility.

Domqueur (FR) (c. 50 06 N – 02 02 E)
General: landing ground in NE France approx. 15 km E of Abbeville. No record found of use by the Luftwaffe. Possibly a satellite or dispersal field for Abbeville. Remarks: 26 May 42: believed to have become operational this date. 26 Jul 42: assigned airfield code number 265. [Sources: Mattiello] Could this be it? I show no Dompierre-du-Chemin in any of my extensive listings for France or for III./ZG 76. L.
