Re: Luftwaffe Ju 52 captured in Africa and flown to South Africa

Yes, right. Luftwaffe ww2 codes had "minefields" for those "not knowing all".

CQ+HH (H 1. Staffel, H individual for plane), CQ+HA (H 1. staffeln, A individual for plane)

Just like VB+KM was (one) Ju 88 A-5 F, (one) Ju 88 D-2 and (one) Ju 88 D-1 (total three known) with 2./Aufklärungsgruppe Ob.d.L. (othervise code T5+MK in normal system).
Here VB+ was "Unit code" K was 2. Staffeln and "M" individual aircraft (letter Red for 2. Staffeln colour).

I hope Mr. Gerhard now understands.
