Re: He.111 9./KG26. Aberdeen, 12 July 1940

Hi,

Not to Hijack Bill's thread, but would anyone happen know what B.LU stands for that is stamped into the goggles?

Behind the outer steel plates, underneath is what looks to be a thick piece of Armoured glass set into the recess. I believe these were anti Flak Goggles. They were worn as seen as the outer plates retain the armoured glass.

Many Thanks
