Captured Seaplanes on the Schlei inlet (Schleswig)

[obdl3945]

Hi...

A quick look at Barry Rosch's Luftwaffe Codes, Markings & Units 1939-1945 (Schiffer), p.16, shows that all of the selection of KG200 aircraft listed there, with only a few exceptions, have B, C, D, E & F as the last letter. The types range from captured B17s to an Italian SM75

Might this be one of the many anomalies of the Luftwaffe coding practice? I note that 'traditionally', these letters would have been used to denote I. to V.Gruppenstab flights.

Regards,

Paul
