Re: German grids September 1939
Hi Robert
Naval grids were given with two letters and four numbers, so if your positions are naval grids they are missing the two letters that gave the general region of the grid.
If the positions were reported from the North Sea (AN) they are:
AN 9496 is approx. 54°45'N, 09°25'W, on land, south of Flensburg
AN 2187 is approx. 60°03'N, 00°36'W, over sea, south-east of Lerwick, Shetlands
If the positions were reported from the Baltic Sea (AO) they are:
AO 9496 is approx. 54°45'N, 18°25'E, over sea, off Schwarzau (today Swarzewo)
AO 2187 is approx. 60°03'N, 15°36'E, on land, near Sörbo, Sweden
