Re: KG53 at France in 1940

Hallo Manfred,

I./KG53 was located at Vitry-en-Artois (South of Lille) from 12-07-1940 till 18-06-1941.

Attacks by I.KG/53 on England would start at Vitry, but often they would first assemble with the whole Geschwader at Lille Vendeville.

II./KG53 was at Vendeville

Source: Kiehl and my own collection.

Best regards, Thomas
