On 19 June with his aircraft scattered between Laval, Clastres and Villacoublay, Gruppenkommandeur Major Weyert flew from Villacoublay to Bourges to meet with Oberst Hermann-Josef Freiherr von dem Bongart, a former KG 55 Gruppenkommandeur, tasked with leading a specialised 'anti-partisan' unit...".
