As time allows I am examining other evidence about the 3rd and 4th RHA shootout that seems to
add to the witnessed German AFV casualties I first encountered in unit war diaries.
An eye witness I recently encountered in a book describes the panzers splitting up to attack and this may be why Schorm makes no clear and direct reference to the AFV damage. What we do not know is what the translators bothered to include from Schorm's diary. Jentz certainly did not fully quote what there was from Schorm even though he could have done.
Its going to be weeks before I can respond on this subject but I will respond - perhaps by August.
The second August is nearing an end so I guess you've decided not to add any further information from your research and thus keep that info hidden yet longer still. Shame

Back to the subject of the thread: 3rd and 4th RHA Shootout with Pz Abt. Hohmann, 12 May 1941, what have you written about the other 3 German 'columns' and the other 4 British columns?
Which column lost a Major and 3 O/Rs to Hohman's Gp? Was it UVOR or one of the others? Which columns lost some of their artillery? Are you putting any of that in or choosing to leave it out?
From my side, a documents has passed into my possession that identifies Major G Goschen MC as being taken POW during this skirmish. Major Goschen was OC UVOR Column. This would seem to confirm that it was indeed UVOR against Hohman's pantsers and add yet more weight to the veracity of the various German write-ups and claims.
