Re: KG53 at France in 1940
Hi Manfred.
Aircraft LN would be from 5. Staffel in II. Gruppe of KG53. de Zeng and Stankey say that II. Gruppe of KG53 transferred to Lille-Nord 12th July 1940. I have a Flugbuch to a man from 5./KG53 but he refers only to 'Lille' as the base from which he transferred to Radom on 30th April 1941, which does not help much, but Heinz Kiehl in his book on KG53 quotes an airman saying 'we moved from Lille-Nord to Grojek near Radom in Poland.'
