Yes. Chémery-sur-Bar (https://decisivehours.wordpress.com/chemery-sur-bar)

More details on the incident:

"On 14 May 1940 1./schwere Panzerabwehr-Batterie 8 lost its first vehicle, but not as a result of enemy action. The previous day German troops had establlished a bridgehead over Meuse near Sedan. French counterattacks were launched too late and did not start until 8 a.m.. For one hour Panzer-Regiment 2 and some Pak guns frustrated the French effort to throw the Germans back across the river.
   At 10.45 a.m. French tanks began to fall back. Only then could German reinforcements pour into the small bridgehead, still delayed by an enormous traffic congestion on the other side of the Meuse.
Finally the Selbstfahrlafetten of 1./schwere Panzerabwehr-Batterie 8 went into action. Before noon the French had lost 30 tanks and were pushed back to their starting line. In the meantime officers of Panzer-Regiment 2 and 1./schwere Panzerabwehr-Batterie gathered on the market square in Chémery to confer.
However, early in the morning an air strike had been requested on the village which because of poor communications could not be called off. Stukas mistook their own vehicles for French ones and swooped down with devasting effect. At least 25 soldiers died, one Selbstfahrlafette was a written-off and several others were damaged."
