He 111B or P
Good evening all
I am currently trying to absorb the massive amount of information in Peter Cornwell's excellent Battle of France Then and Now, and have discovered an apparent contradiction.
An entry on page 115 refers to He 111B (1403) 1G+BM of 4./KG 27 as damaged but repairable but
on page 316 another entry refers to He 111P-2 (1403) 1G+BM of 4./KG 27 being a write off.
As I am not a Luftwaffe expert, could someone please tell me if this means, as I think it probably does, that He 111B 1403 was repaired and upgraded to He 111P-2 status and returned to service with the same unit with the same codes or whether there is a typo in the quoted wnr for one of them.
Thanks in advance
Maurice Perry
