Re: He 114 - Pinguin - Hilfskreuzer

Thanks Merlin, RolandF and Seaplanes - you opened my eyes to the complexity in the numbering of the Seaplane units during the war, and especially the role the He 114 played therein!!

But I've to come back - a last time - to my first question:
Do you know if the two He 114 B, belonging to 5./Bordfl.St.196 that were aboard the HSK PINGUIN, had any kind of penguin-marking - like the one we see in the photo above? Or, because of their sometimes clandestine role out on the oceans, they were left without any special markings?

Greetings
Hans K
