Re: Dornier supplied HE-111

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your questions. It is possible there was an earlier projected (read 1937) D-version. I don't know that. Volker Koos makes no mentioning of it, and reading for example Manfred Griehl, I get the impression he mix things up and in fact describe the two D-versions as one and the same type, but not quite understanding that.
Neither do I know why Heinkel (RLM) jumped to P and left many other letters unused.
Finally the U designation letter seems to have been Heinkel's own and not RLM's.
As someone who has no access to original documentation, but only second hand sources, I have to chose what to believe and not to believe. Volker Koos has always impressed me by being very accurate and I have no reason to doubt him when he tries to correct past mistakes.
Cheers
Stig
