The letter H was used by both units (see above) at the same time (march 1943), the letter P switched units two times (KGrzbV400/KGrzbV25/III./KGzbV1), N and Z switched units one time (see above). Reasons for switching were usually disbandment or reforming of units.
- The second digit was a squadronrelated number or letter. Usually the letter S stood for stab aircraft, numbers 1 to 4 for the four operational staffeln within the group.
An exception was i.e. II./TG4 which used the ‘real’ staffelnumbers 5 to 8 and II./KGzbV1 – see above.
- The third digit was simply the individual aircraft letter, exceptionally i. e. II./KGzbV1 used the number (digit) of the letter within the alphabet (A = 1).

So, using this as a guide, tail markings "H2K" would be 2./TG4, 11th aircraft?
I just got a 1943 dated boneyard photo that has this airplane, a Ju88 and an Fw190A-4 Jabo from SKG10 and a few other aircraft wrecks visible. Just trying to nail down location, although I think it's probably Gabes West.
Thanks!
