Re: Do 215 sold to Russia

Somewhat unrelated Do 215 -question

During Summer 1941 a Do 215 -kette from Aufkl.Gr.(F) Ob.d.Lw was based at Luonetjärvi, Finland. Photos exists of T5+AC and T5+GH (one source says +HH).

The interesting thing about the Do 215 T5+AC is that there are remains of German civil register on the wing upper and undersides. The register has been:
D-A_A_ where both of the letters "_" have curved underside (= C,J,O,S,U). One interpretation given is D-AJAJ and it is indeed possible that at least the last letter does have straight right arm and nothin on left (=J). Still I am not convinced, D-A_AC might also be possible (overpainting the first letters would have produced the kennzeichen T5+AC).

Does there exist any source to verify the German civil registrations from this period?


Thanking in advance,
Kari
