Attack over Bonn-Hangelar airport on 11 May'40

[Pieter H]

Hi Jerome,

according to my Luftwaffe Order of Battle overviews there were no operational front line units stationed at Bonn-Hangelar on May 10.
Only Stab/KG76 and III./KG76 moved to Bonn-Hangelar some time during May, but I don't have the exact date. Unlikely though that this happened already on May 10 or 11; few bomber units moved on the first day in this area, unlike e.g. Stuka and fighter units. But you never know. So it seems this airport was not used by front line units. There is still a possibility that some Ju-52 equipped transport or supply units were stationed here, but I have no overview of those other than the onses used for the invasion of Holland.

Regards, Pieter
