Re: Pilots of Nachtjagdeschwader NJG4
Eric,
It is not clear to me if the note at the bottom of your posting is Soethe's date (20 Sep 1914) and place of birth. What do the numbers 60519/12 signify. Thanks, Tom |

Re: Pilots of Nachtjagdeschwader NJG4
60519/12 Is what is called the ''Erkennungsmarke'', identity nb of the crew member, 60519 refer to the unit he belongs, or he belonged, 12 is "rank" in this number, 1 could be sta.ka or the more ancient guy by age, to the 60519 could be added a letter a,b,c,d ...new under-unit ???, at the beginning just flying personal seems to hv the unit "code", the "bodenpersonal" wear code of their former affectation, ausbild.rgt Fliergerhorst-kdtr...
I don't read it in a book, just my conclusions.. rt |
