identification of 6Z+NP
 
Hi friends,
hope this new forum will take lot of success in our communication and researchs.
I have a question to you. Please, do you can give me a plane type and unit identification for 6Z+NP (possibly He 111?). The plane stands at end of WWII at Vysoke Myto airfield, Czechoslovakia.

Thanks, Jan

An answer of sorts
 
According to "Luftwaffe Codes, Markings and Units 1939-45", aircraft coded 6Z+?? could have belonged to any of these three units:

Schleppgruppe 1
examples listed:
6Z+?? - Bf110
6Z+SC - He111

More details from here - http://www.ww2.dk/air/transport/schlep1.htm

Schleppgruppe 1 was known as Transportgruppe Herzog from February 1945 until March 1945.

KGrzbV 600
example listed:
6Z+KX - Ju52/3m

The main operational code of KGrzbV 600 was C6+?? but the code 6Z+?? is listed to a Ju52 (W.Nr.7070 coded 6Z+KX) which was probably on loan or transferred from Transportgruppe Herzog

Hope this helps

Peter, many thanks for your help. I will forward your information to the person who asked me for that. Since the war his family has some pieces from the plane found on the local airfield, which one of them has the marking painted on mentioned in my previous request(small letters, so possible a removable part like engine cowlings, etc.) .
Thanks a lot,
Jan
