Re: He 111 coded "2L"

Hello Chris,

to your assumption in post #1 "2" meant II. Gruppe and "3" 3. Staffel:

At that time the order for the code 2L+B32 was
letter B = number of the aircraft within the Staffel
numeral 3 = number of the Gruppe within the Geschwader
numeral 2 = number of the Staffel within the Gruppe.

The third Gruppe included Staffel 7, 8 and 9.

So the aircraft B32 was the second aircraft(= aircraft B) in the second Staffel of the third Gruppe (= Staffel 8).

Regards
Leo
