The code '2N' is clearly attributed on that page to ZG76 during its second formation (Aug '43 - Feb '45), and not ZG1. Page 383 shows two further machines credited with the codes 2N+BP and 2N+XP, from 6.Staffel/ZG76. By 'day fighters', I presume we are referring to Pulk Zerstörer machines, armed to the teeth and assigned to attack and break up large daytime formations of bombers over German-held territory and Germany itself, by means of Wrf.Gr.21 rocket missiles, heavy cannon et al.
However, to return to Peter's original query, I have also seen a photo of an Me410B-2/R2, coded M8+2 and attributed to I.Gruppe/ZG76 based in Czechoslovakia during late 1944 (Messerschmitt Me210/410 in action; Squadron/Signal Publications). So, are we actually saying that there was a definite period when one code stopped being used and the other was introduced, or was there an overlap of codes being used by different units at the same time, or different sections of the same unit at different times...? Am I missing something very obvious here...?
Yours in confusion... !

Hi ODBL and all others ...
Fir to that black 2 published in squadron..on left photo it says that it is I. Gruppe plane, however on the right photo it is II. Gruppe plane...as for the redbrown parts of the spinner I assume it is II gruppe..and has been wrongly labeled on the picture... As far as I know and correct me if otherwaysm II gruppe had first part ppop hubs with spiral and second part redbron, while I gruppe had all black with spiral all the hub.
The reason why I asked is that I came to Flugbuch info of a pilot, that flew I. ZG 76. Some a/c he noted as marked with numbers but in some entries he wrote letters instead of numbers...and s I thought if I Gruppe did nto use also alphabetical marking together with numerical...
So Far I did not see much photos of I. Gruppe ZG 76 me 410s....anyone can help with these???
And funny fact is that also ErgZG 76 used 1E code, which was designated for Erg.ZG 1? could it be?
THANKS and regards
