Re: Heinkel B W.Nr. 2196 and W.Nr. 2177
There were almost certainly two different He111’s with the WNr. 2196. The first would have been a He111B-2. But this work number block was also used for He111P-2. These are not re-builds, but new aircraft. The 2196 at Erfurt in April 1940 could be either aircraft. If it was the He111P-2 we would suspect that it was still an operational aircraft. If the He111B-2 still existed at this time then it would have been retired to a training unit some time before.
