Some KGr 506 code+WNr pairs from 1941 - exact subtypes?

[Kari Lumppio]

Hello!

I purchased some time ago the war diary of KGr 506 in NARA microfilm form(accidentally BTW, I was after KGr 806). There is one interesting two-three page memorandum about technical problems which had occurred 18.-19.9.1941 in the Gruppe's Ju 88s.

There can be found following Kennzeichen / Werke Nummer pairs:

HL - WNr 1077
LL - WNr 1099
AL - WNr 1045
HL - WNr 1144
ML - WNr 1323

For some reason the war diary gives the plane code always as single (individual) letter, for example "C 1/506". Fortunately the memorandum gave codes as the last two letters as shown above. Anyone know the reason? In mid-September 1941 the second Staffel of the KGr 506 is given "2/906" (sic!) and later becomes as "2/506". Did the Staffeln have different unit codes?

I hope someone has some use for the data. I would like to know what are the exact subtypes of those WNr Ju 88s? Somewhere in the diary is mentioned that they had also Ju 88 D-2. Usually Küstenfliegergruppen had A-6s?

Cheers,
Kari
