Brigadier Victor Iturria commanded a 25mm ATG of 4e regiment de dragons portes during the French campaign of 1940 and is cited for a battle on 23 May (?) when he claimed the disabling of seven Panzers. I know the 2nd battalion 43 RDP defended Carency and the 1st were at Berthonval farm. They faced 5 Pz-Div (also possibly 7 Pz-Div). My question is does anyone know what casualties were suffered by the German division in these engagements and what type of Panzers were involved?

thanks

Keith
