Re: He 111E pre-war code 56+D?? which unit?
Hi
I have seen the second photo of this He 111E before. 56 indicates the aircraft as from the 2nd formation of KG 155 in November 1938. The +DOO is the remains of the previous civil code, so previously D-ADOO.

A similar photo of an early He111 with this mixture of unit code and civil registration is a He111B-1 coded 71+GOK (Griehl, 2006, p.23)
