Re: 3./ KuFlGr.606. Position Qu. 1631 1.0.E

Hi Bill

This is the usual notation of a position on the Kriegsmarine Grid Chart, the addition "l.o.E." means "linke obere Ecke" (left upper corner). The main grid is not stated, but assuming it is AN (North Sea) the grid AN1631 is a square of roughly 6 to 6 nautical miles with the center in 59°03'N, 01°48'W - upper left corner is in 59°06'N, 01°54'W, about 21 nautical miles east of Stronsay.

Wasn't KuFlGr 606 under operative control of the Kriegsmarine until September 1940?
