Re: Unit code 9H?

Hi Larry,

Thanks a lot for the information. Perhaps there were only so few Ju 88 (based on the list at www.ww2.dk until end of 1944) that the Staffel members didn't explicitely mention the Ju 88 ?

Or of course, based on your information it seems more and more probable that I read the unit code wrongly and that instead it was 8H for (F)33. Since (F)33 had 4 Staffeln the code 8H+SL would make more sense than 9H+SL. 1. and 3. Staffel had Ju 88 on strengh (at least until end of 1944 according to ww2.dk). 3. Staffel had the Staffel letter 'L'. So 8H+SL would fit perfectly.

3./(F)33 operated in Greece and Hungary under Luftflotte 4 before it went back to Germany just before the end of the war. So, the yellow fuselage band would make sense as well.

Regards
Roger
