Re: 4./Seeaufkl.Gru. 126
Mr. Kurowski is not completely correct. In the KTB of Gen.d.Lw.b.Ob.d.M./O.Qu. for June 1943, the formation order for 1. and 2./128 is given as folows:
RdL und ObdL Genst.Gen.Qu. 2.Abt. Nr. 8741/43 gKdos. (IIA) of 29.05.43
Mit sofortiger Wirkung wird die Küstenfliegerstaffel 2./128 aufgestellt.
Mit sofortiger Wirkung wird die Bordfliegerstaffel 5./196 in Küstenfliegerstaffel 1./128 umbenannt und umgewandelt.

In a letter from Lw.Führungsstab of 29.05.43 it was suggested that the term Aufklärungsflieger should be replaced by Seeaufklärung. However, this was a suggestion only and Gen.Qu. 2.Abt. was asked to agree to a new arrangement of the seaplane units. The actual order did not come until 5.7.43.
