Re: Code for 2.(H)/23 during the Polish Campaign

Paul,

I think that Rosch is correct, as 6K is what our EOE Working Group has also come up with as well. The problem is that Merick's "Luftwaffe Camo & Markings 1933-1945" Vol II lists 6K as Aufkl.Gr. 41 (C2 as well), with no listing for Aufkl.Gr. 23. We are actually trying to confirm the full a/c code for what we think is Hs123B-1 6K+FK tipped on its nose and with the tip of one wing crumpled in Poland on 23.9.39. The "F" is clearly visible on the top of both wings in several photos, but now we're seeking photos of the side of the fuselage with the rest of the code visible. This is a prospective color profile in our EOE book series, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

Regards,
