Re: I.ZG 76 code
2N+ was last used by III./ZG 76 in early 1941, before it was ultimately absorbed into the various elements of JG 77/JG 5. Check out Eric Mombeek's 'Eismeerjäger Band 1'.
S9+ was used by Erprobungsgruppe 210/Schnellkampfgeschwader 210/Zerstörergeschwader 1, the lineage of those units from July 1940, until ZG 1's code was changed to 2N+. First record of 2N+ being used by ZG 1 was in the loss/damage report for 8th November 1942, a Me 210 A-1 coded 2N+AT, 25% damaged.
The attribution of 2N+ to ZG 76 is an error going back decades to misidentification in several books.
Barry Rosch's book is a monumental tome, but it does contain errors, particularly with regard to Bf 110s.
