Re: HE111 I. D. markings help?
"RT" and "Jim P" apparently have access to the German archives Luftwaffe info in section RL 2 III/778 that lists HE111-H #4962 to be crashed with 15% damage in 02 Apr 44 and assigned to the transport unit for high officers (Fl. Bereitschaft G. L.) at Berlin-Johannistal airfield.
Perhaps the plane got repaired and moved. The photo clearly shows US troops at the destroyed plane probably at a later date (since US troops were not at Berlin at end of war).
I have to conclude that the plane unit assignment and final location are not fully known at this time.
A neat mystery. This has been a very fun project for me. Many thanks to all that helped with it.
