Hello
A friend of mine is doing some research into the British 42 Division (East Lancs, Territorial Army). He wants to know what German unit they engaged in 1940. They fought at Tournai, Lille, then skirted the Belgium Border, then back to Bray Dunes and Dunkirk. Anybody know what divisions they were up against? The only positive ID he has was the 8/Lancashire Fusiliers were alongside the Norfolk Regiment when it was overrun by the 3rd SS Division Totenkopt. Anybody know any other units in that area at that time?
Cheers
Martin
