BP+FO, W.Br. 7204
I have an ULTRA reference to this aircraft from March 1945. The Stammkennzeichen seems to fall with a block of Siebel Si 204's (and ithat fits the context) but can anyone confirm its identity?

I have Si 204 D-1, WNr. 321281, BP+FO. I have no Si 204 with WNr. 7204.

Re: BP+FO, W.Br. 7204
Thank you Matti.
This was from an ULTRA message (CX/MSS/R483(C),21: To AMC [Air Movement Control] Unterschlauersbach from AMC Lechfeld, dated 4/3 [1945]:So I wonder what "7402" meant if it wasn't a Werk Nummer? Another aviation mystery! |

Re: BP+FO, W.Br. 7204
Read it 7-204, which suggests Si 204 in some code I guess. There was 8-109, but I do not remember if 8 denoted fighter aircraft or aircraft,

Re: BP+FO, W.Br. 7204
8- were airframes and 9- were engines but thank you Franek because you inspired a thought that gave me the answer. Maybe the cipher clerk read "Siebel" as "Sieben" (= seven)?

Possibly, unless there was another code for such communications.
I wonder, do you have complete aircraft traffic in Ultra? |
