Could anyone please give me the oob's for the following divisions on May 1940 in France:
1st Moroccan Infantry Division
1st North African Infantry Division
2nd North African Infantry Division
7th North African Infantry Division
3rd North African Infantry Division
4th North African Infantry Division
5th North African Infantry Division
87th North African Infantry Division

I'm mostly interested in the regiments (INF & ART) of the divisions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
