Photos series: 16th June 1940 brought the final Do 17 combat losses of the battle of France campaign when a P-model of 3.(F)/22 was damaged by ground fire northwest of Dijon and then set upon by two MS.406s of GC 1/6. The crew succeeded in making it back to base, with Unteroffizier Fritz Hein being slightly wounded. At 1500 hrs Do 17P 4U+EK of 2.(F)/123 had the misfortune of being caught in the middle of an audacious strafing attack by D.520s of GC 111/3 on Auxerre airfield just as the aircraft was coming in to land. The Dornier collided with three Bf 109Es from I./JG 27 before it came to a halt on top of one of the ‘Emils’. Although all four aircraft were written-off, there were no casualties amongst the crew. This aircraft was Messerschmitt Bf 109E4 1.JG27 White 1 belonging to Wolfgang Redlich which was hit by the landing Do 17E at Auxerre France 16th June 1940
