Re: Unit ID on He45 or 46 Photos for Polish Campaign
Hello,
With the location of another photo we now know that these aircraft were coded 6K+CM and 6K+DM. They still look like they are associated with the Polish Campaign, so either Rosch is wrong about when this unit was formed or these photos date to the Western Campaign of 1940. Don't know which is right. The codes on these He45/46s have been repainted over another unit's codes, which is why they are so difficult to read. The 4th staffel code of "M" is very clear, however, on one of the photos. No doubt about it.
Soooo. Any way to date 4.(H)/21 photos on He45/46 aircraft back to 9.39, or do these just have to be from the May-June Western Campaign of 1940? One has just landed with what appears to be flak damage, so these were taken during a period of combat ops. I await the verdict.
Regards,
