Re: Looking for information on He111 A1+AM 4./KG53

I believe the letters "AM" are painted with black temporary paint ahead of the fuselage Balkenkreuz because the aircraft once had the lower rear, including sides, in temporary, washable, paint for nocturnal missions. It is common top see the two last letter repeated for ID purposes like we see on the photo. Perhaps retained in expectation of more night missions to come? The yellow band width can vary between He111s in the East but I have no explanation to this particular case.
Best regards,
Göran
