LW Position Codes - HELP!

Anyone help?

I know there is a thread here somewhere about Luftwaffe planquadrant position codes with a link to an excellent site. Try as I might with all possible combinations of search words nothing has emerged!

Can anyone help and direct me there?

Alternatively, can anyone tell me where grid squares 50, 60 and 70 were?

Andy:

The site you want is here:

http://www.lesbutler.ip3.co.uk/jg26/gradnetz.htm

System used varied by period during the war though - do you have a date and a full reference? Might be able to help...

Cheers,

Mark

You should also go to Michael's excellent site here:

http://www.gyges.dk/reporting_grids.htm

and get his amazing LUMA resources!

Andy,

Please try this link which may also help:-

http://www.stormbirds.com/eagles/res.../gradnetz.html

This is part of Andreas Brekken's "Eagles over Norway" site hosted on Stormbirds.

I do remember another page, again one of Andreas', that you could enter the planquadrat reference and the dite would hand you off to a map - I, regretably, no longer have that very useful link.

Hi Andy:

That's a good deal earlier than I'm used to - think this one may be beyond me, never heard of grid squares ordered in that way.

Hi

The address to my tool is:

http://www.ahs.no/ref_db/map_geo_location_gradnetz.asp

Will update it to asp.net shortly, and add Jägermeldenetz

Andy - in order to assist you further it would be nice if you could write out the entire context in which your references were found.

Regards,
Andreas B

Andreas,

Many thanks for the link.

I remember using this very useful tool to plot items onto a map some years ago. Then lost the link.
