Identification German aircraft shot down May 1940
hello to all, between May 10 and 15, 1940 around Saint-Amand-Les-Eaux (Nord, France), in the small village of Lecelles a German plane or several would have been shot down according to the versions by anti-aircraft fire of Fort Maulde or by the allied aviation if you manage to identify the possible losses of the German squadrons flying over the sector at this time would be great. Thanks a lot for your help .

KG 54 operated in that area but I have no ID of a loss in that area around that date. There is one loss May 17th in Onnaing, which isn't far away from Lecelles.
Regards,
Rudi

Thanks for you response , the only photo I have to hope to identify the squadron is this poor quality photo representing the plane shot down in the area of Bruille Saint-Amand around May 26, 1940, there is also a fighter shot down near Rumegies but not our or our planes descended at Lecelles and in front of witnesses in May 1940.

Hi,
The Geschwader (Wing) code that identifies the unit is on the left of the Balkenkreuz. The quality of your scan is to pour to identify it. Can you tell me what the 2 letter code (one numeral and one letter) on the left of the Balkenkreuz is?

Code for KG 54, it's B3 +
It doesn't seem possible to see the unit code in those photos.
