Re: Tactical codes of Stab., I and II/SG4 (Ghostbombers.com -inspirated) question
Hello!
I bring up another subject which fortunately falls under the title too. This occurred to my mind during this weekend when I at last had some time for my hobbies.
In some Czech publications I have seen photos of JaBo Fw 190 identified as II/SG4 planes and with "numeral + -" markings (second gruppe). I wonder if these identifications are 100% sure. In the Fw 190 loss list for SG 3 (provided by mr Matti Salonen, he is a TOCH member) it seems II/SG 3 also used numerals for tactical codes. But at least during the Italian period II/SG4 did use alphabets and probably also during the Bagration offensive (July-August 1944 - I think for example Fw 190 In Action -booklet has picture(s?) from this period).
When did II/SG4 change tactical codes from alphabets to numerals and did it indeed do that? A loss list analysis would be the answer, but perhaps someone does have the data already (also quicker and easier for me... am a bit lazy) (clarfication added later: I do not have any SG4 loss data at the moment). I hope there are others interested in the ground-attack units above me. A theme I would love to see more publications to be devoted to.
Regards,
Kari
