Re: He-111 Poland Campaign 1939

Hello,

My understanding is that the enlarged crosses were not introduced until after 15.10.39 when, I believe, the orders were given to do so. I've seen many, many photos of Luftwaffe a/c during the Polish Campaign (we are researching a major book in the EOE series on this subject) and I don't recall any with oversized crosses that can be reliably dated to the PC itself. This includes quite a number of crashed or force-landed aircraft which are known to date to the PC.

Regards,
