Re: Einsatzkommando Helsinki - I./JG302

Hallo!

JG302 in Helsinki

It seems that:
numbers without outline = red
numbers with outline = black

"29" has been recorded as "musta 29" (black 29) in Finnish Air Observation unit diary.
"m 33" I am sure similary meant musta (black) 33.

"punainen 7" (red 7) was also recorded in written, but no photo of that. IIRC these three are all the codes (addition: with colour mentioned) to be found in the material.

I think there was no number "4" among the JG302 planes at Helsinki, but would be pleased to be shown incorrect.




IIRC it was 7. Ilmavalvontakomppania (7th Air Observation Company) diaries. I think I was the first to use these in research, but today there are people with far more data collected and analysed with them. Since the old, well serving Sota-arkisto (Finnish War Archvie) was closed few years ago and majority of their holdings put under the Kansallisarkisto (Finnish National Archive) I have done very little research. Just not worth waiting a day or two for something which is not what I wanted. In good old days one could order three-four times a day new material in the Sota-arkisto. Sorry, nothing to do with the topic, but something I wanted off my chest.


Cheers,
Kari
