While we are at it... I am having trouble figuring out another system of Quadrate used in Luftwaffe reports - examples (Russia, summer 1943): ZP7d, XQ9, ZQ1? Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
That is the post APR 1943 format, but you miss the Jagdtrapeze (e.g. 34 ON).

SES, but the subset of letters in this format ends with U and here we have Z, Y etc.?

Kind regards,

SES, whatever system it is, I figured out how to layer the coordinates over Heeres 1:100.000 map of Belgorod area and it seems to work

kind regards,
Pawel

Greetings, gents! During my research I got following list of coordinates:

34 Ost N/ SB-7
34 Ost N/ UL
34 Ost N/ TC
34 Ost N-7
34 Ost N/U-1.5
34 Ost N/AU-6
34 Ost N/SE-3
34 Ost N/UD-2
34 Ost N/UF-2
34 Ost N/TF-2
34 Ost/NT-4.6
34 Ost N/SG-8
34 Ost N/SG-5
34 Ost N/SG-8

All of the must be Mamaiya (Romania) - Odessa/Sevastopol (USSR) area. But how could I found more details? Could somebody help a little bit?

Hi Evgeny,
Excactly what is it you want to know?
On this page you'll find a converter - LUMA - which will convert your coordinates into lat/long:

SES - any idea about Andy Saunders' question here:

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=17753

He's after grid squares PQ 15/ 50, 60, 70, in the English Channel so far as I can determine...

Hi,
In order to give a quick reference to these sort of questions this Sticky was created:
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=7471
it does have references and links to the LUMA Guide and the LUMA converter.
The positions you mention are given in in pre 1943 system and can easily be converted to lat/long using the LUMA converter.
