Re: HE.111 over Vitry le François -May, 10th, 1940
Thank you very much Pieter for this answer One of these planes could be the one damaged by Delarue and Mathieu.

Franck,
I./KG55 took off from Neuburg & Lichtenau for the dawn attacks on May 10, 1940, landing at the forward airfield at Baltringen after the first sortie. They moved to Malmsheim on May 15. |

Hi Peter
I'm speaking about II/KG 55 not I/KG 55. And the date I confirmed in last post is May 11th 1940.( see my N°3's post on 30th April 2008, 21:54) Regards Franck |

Re: HE.111 over Vitry le François -May, 10th, 1940
Sorry Peter but I do not know many think on Luftwaffe's organization .
For example, if I understood well, 1 / KG 55 is the first staffel of Gruppe I / KG55. The 2/KG55 is the second and 3/KG55 is the third. How much is there staffel by gruppe? Does every Kampgeshwader's gruppe contain the same number of staffel? Regards Franck |
