Re: At least some informations about RLM 83
I was listening to Ullman when he talked about this and I believe it was first described in 1943 during which durability tests were made. Regarding the Crashed Enemy Aircraft Report from 24/1 - 44 it would indeed be possible that RLM83 was in use by then. The description of the aircrafts service and area of service fits exactly with the intent for RLM83.
I very much doubt that the number would be reassigned though, seems to go against the system as described by Ken Merrick when he wrote about why RLM61 and RLM62 wouldn't have been reintroduced under the same numbers but RLM81 and RLM82.
I wrote down the dates he mentioned, as soon as I find my notebook I'll share the info.
Cheers! / Anders
