Re: Trying to ID codes for a Do17Z of AufklarStaffel zbV of Luftflotte 2 which crashed in Belgium on 25.5.40

Hi Larry & Peter,

Sorry for the late reply; travelling too much.
First thanks for the update on the May 20 3.(F)/Aufkl.Gr.Ob.d.L. case.

My question re. codes is still referring to the May 25 A.St.z.b.V Luftflotte 2 crash in Moeskroen. Is there any logical explanation for the use of the 5K+H? code of KG3?
Rosch "Luftwaffe Codings and Markings" does not list this Staffel, which makes me suspect it was more an ad hoc entity than a formal unit, and probably used aircraft from different units under the Luftflotte. But this all my speculation. Any input?

Regards, Pieter
