German claims and Allied losses May 1940

[Laurent Rizzotti]

This post is destined to Robert and everybody interested in the subject. I'm still at work but remembered I had in my mailbox an old file about claims and losses in May 1940. The original file was Tony's Wood claimlist.

The color code is the following:
Green : a loss was found and linked to the claim (or a number of losses were found and linked to the same number of claims in one battle)
Pink : a loss was found but linked to a group of claims (more claims than losses)
Red: a claim without loss. Opponent identified and not destroyed.

This is a starting point. Especially as most ZG claims of the period are not known, the links between claims and losses are only proposals.
