Re: Raum Map UK

Chris,

Great question, been wondering about these area codes myself and missed the map in Parry's book....and now Richdlc has provided a more recent one.

Have done some digging in the Luftflotte 3 Einzelmeldung that I have.

Einzelmeldung in June 1941 start to mention various Raum but confined to A, B, C and F.

Raum F is mentioned in the Luftflotte 3 Einzelmeldung Nr 2 of 4.10.41.

The following are mentioned in the Einzelmeldung relating to "Raum F", however some are definitely not in the suggested area of "F": - Hemswell (in "B"), Upper Heyford, Leamington, Marham (on the edge of "C"), Norwich-Catton (not in any Raum), Bicester, Colerne (maybe a bit to the west of the suggested "F"), Oxford and Waterbeach (from the maps appears to be in "C").

Could not find reference to Raum D in the Einzelmeldung that I have. Also sample checked July 1941 Lagebericht and could not find reference to any Raum under the reports for Fernnachtjagd.

So, if there is a Raum D will there be a Raum E as well?

What is your source for Raum D?
