Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The He 111 is a TGr. 30 machine and the stencilled "S3" unit code is an interesting detail that I hadn't seen before. It's probably not S3+KL since the 3. Staffel was up on the Baltic coast by the end of the war. The only S3+KK that I know of was lost in a crash on 6 October 1944 but that doesn't mean there wasn't a successor. It could be S3+KH which Steve Sheflin has documented transferring from Großostheim to Reichenau on 23 March 1945.

Straightened out and adjusted copy of the image attached.
