Re: Luftwaffe units involved in Rennes Railway yards raid, 17th June 1940?
Thanks for the feedback Laurent...
 Brian, here are some additional external links concerning this incident: Roll of Honour – Rennes troop train bombing, 17th June 1940 Rennes, Brittany, France, June 1940. After Dunkirk, escaping to the west. Chapter 1 Rennes; 17 juin 1940, tragédie dans la gare à la plaine de Baud (WARNING! includes graphic images) I also agree that this appears to have been a target of opportunity, so perhaps it was one of the two units who recorded losses (both from "The Battle of France..." tome) on this day? 1./KG26 - Heinkel He111 3./KG30 - Junkers Ju88A - possibly aircraft that attacked the Lancastria Hopefully others can add more info... Cheers Peter D Evans LEMB Administrator
