On the last page (page 7) under Information for Scouting Force there "appears" (if I am reading it correctly) to be a list of target codes with co-ordinates.
GU-4048 appears to be Ettinghausen (actual co-ordinates) 50°28'42"N 008°38'26"E
The next code, GU-3963 appears to be the airfield at Kirch-Gons.
You can possibly check some of these in the site: https://www.forgottenairfields.com/index.php |
Could it be that the codes were not fixed but given to any target of a specific mission? The coordinates of GU-4048 from the document don't even come close to the coordinates of Achmer or Handorf of 21 feb 1944. - by the way nice page 24december1944.com!
