6. Armee OoB, June 5th, 1940

Hello,

Does anyone know what units were subordinated to 6. Armee on June 5th, 1940?
I found evidences that there were Gruppe "Kleist" (XIV. and XVI. Armeekorps (motorisierte), with 3., 4., 9. and 10. Panzer Divisionen), IV., V., XXXX. and XXXXIV. Armeekorps, but it would be wonderful to have a confirmation from Kriegsgliederungen or authorized source and I also need the corps-subordinated units (divisions).

Thank you for your help.
Cheers,

CNE503

Dear friend,

That's perfect! Thank you very much for sharing these highly valuable pieces of information.
I really don't know how to pay the huge debt I owe you for all these years...

Very best regards from France,
