1./le.Flak Abteilung 955

[Panzertruppen]

Hi hi hi !

I research all information about the 1./le.Flak Abteilung 955 from the end of July 1944.

I know they have suffered an aerial attack on a train on August 8, 1944, at Chateau-renault in Indre-et-Loire, on the Tours-Vendômes railway line.

It's this event that i'm looking for more information !

Please tell me you know something ?

In passing, i also search all papers, Soldbuch, Wehrpass, etc ... related to 1./le.Flak Abteilung 955.

Many thanks !

BR,
Panzer'.
