The code L5+__ was assigned to TGr. 10 during January 1944. But the group had no Ju 52/3m on strength during this month. It was also used by Erg.TG and they had Ju 52/3m on strength in January 1944. So my guess is that it belonged to Erg.TG.

The assumption that with the unit code one can find the serial number is only partially correct. If a serial number got lost the unit code may have been reused for another serial number.

Regards,
Norbert
