Mysterious code on a Ju 52
Hi!

Looks like BSt E (or BS1 E).
B stands for Beckmann, hence KGr.zbV. 500 and E is the individual letter (I assume).
But what does this St or S1 stand for? Staffel 1?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Hi Chris,
according to Kössler´s booklet on Luftwaffe transports "S" or "St" stands for Stab (staff), so this Ju was from the Gruppenstab.

Greettings,

borborygm

Re: Mysterious code on a Ju 52
Hi

WNr. must be 7246 ! The tactical sign (Taktisches Kennzeichen) "B" belonged possible to KGrzbV.500 (see Kössler).
From Juli to Dec. 1941 these plane flown by BFS 6 in Wesendorf.

best wishes
JoMe

Re: Mysterious code on a Ju 52
At least my guess was wrong these planes built before 1939

Re: Mysterious code on a Ju 52
How can you read the Wnr?
It's blurred and illegible.

BTW, thanks to borborygm.
