Re: ID of Do17P with Z5 Unit Code

Stig and Marc,

Someone has communicated with me directly that the Do17P in question was coded Z5+BH (confirmed by photography). He also sent a photo of a Fi156 with the code Z5+FH clearly on it. Z5+BH was shot down during the Western Campaign of 1940, probably in France. The source thinks that this could be the "Aufkla.Staffel of Flakkorps I" because this unit lost at least two Do 17s with this code. Does anyone have any other evidence for this unit having such a code? What was "Flakkorps I," what did they do, and why did they need Do17Ps?

Regards,
