Not having my books here I got myself a bit in an information twist regarding Zerstörer units and the codes used here. Unfortunately
www.ww2.dk is sometimes not much of a help, so I'd be glad if you experts here could help me straighten out the mess regarding tactical codes. Thx in advance!
Stab/ZG 1- formed 1942 from Stab/SKG 210; code S9
I./ZG 1- formed 1939, disbanded June 1940; code G9
- reformed 1942 from I./SKG 210, renamed I./ZG 26 in 1943 ; code S9
- reformed from V./KG 40 in 1943, code ??
II./ZG 1- formed 1939, became III./ZG 76 in 1940; code G9
- reformed 1942 from II./SKG 210; code S9
III./ZG 1- formed 1942; code S9
- renamed II./ZG 26 and reformed in 1943, code ??
I also have the code
2N for 1943/44 - did ZG 1 change codes at that point or were those "just" used by II. and III. Gruppen?
