Re: He 111 from KGr. 100 - 14 August 1940
Frederic,
Thanx for posting this. It look like the same a/c I earlier posted with the "C." Based upon what I can see of the code, I think that this is 6N+CB of the Gruppenstab. The 4th letter looks far more like a "B" than the "A" as reported in the "Ultra" intercept concerning a 6N+CA on 14 August 1940. If it is 6N+CB, the color of the letter "C" would be medium green, which is consistent with the appearance of both photos. This FL may not relate to the Ultra intercept, but the crash of 6N+DH doesn't fit either. I think now we're looking for info on 6N+DH, 6N+NH and 6N+CB, all probably during the BoB. None of these have black camouflage overpainting consistent with "The Blitz." The problem is we have only one known beach landing (on 14.08.40) for the unit, and the reported coding in the Ultra intercept doesn't match any of them.
