Bombing of Vitry-le-Francois,Fr.16 May 40
Hi,
I am wondering wich german lw units bombed the town of Vitry-le-Francois ,in Champagne region, France, on 16th May 1940 ? Why to destroy this city without strong military forces or equipment and so far from the borders ? The town was destroyed at 70%. thanks a lot ! Granville |

Hi,
probably the bombers were from KG55. They were instructed to attack railway targets. Regards Robert |
