Luftwaffe losses june 3rd 1940/victories 14th june
Hi everybody
i'm quite new on the forum, and i hope i'll able to help as much as i can ! I'm mostly working (as my friend Lionel !) on the French Air force in 1940. At the moment i have two problems with lufftwaffe victories and losses.... And may be i hope someone can help me... 1) i'm currently working on the "unternehmen paula", the big bombardement of paris june 3rd 1940. I have moste of the information from archive but i'd like to know if someone knows pictures of : - Kammhuber Ju-88 A-1 (W. nr 88.322, 9K+AA) Stab/KG-51, shot down by GC I/3 & I/8 - Fw Willi Roth Me 109 (5+-) of 4./JG26 shot down by GC I/1 or II/1 - Lt. Kurt Schade Me 109 (8+~) of 9./JG2 shot down by GC I/5 2) I work of french DAT patrol of Tours. For the first time i have french aircraft shotdown in dog fight... but no Luft victories ! On june 14th a KG bombing the Tours airfield escorted by Me 110. Some Bloch fighters take off : one is is shot down and one other severly damaged. After a lot of search it's impossible for me to find what ZG fights with the Bloch, and moreover who claimed the victories... If someone could help me it will be a trully dream !! Friendly to all Matt |

Hi,
they were a bit earlier in combat with some RAF Hurricanes (17.00-17.10) so not all claims were made against DAT Tours (one MB-151 c/l and one damaged). Regards Robert |
