Re: Color Slides

Re: the blue Kennung. The 4.(F)/121 was part of FAG 3, and while it had been officially disbanded on 10.April, a number of its machines were still wearing 'their' markings, as the 4. Staffel of the Gruppe. They'd been based at Prague-Kbely 'til mid-April, then Hradec Králové to the end. This photo was taken at Kassel where "7A+RM" (foreground) and WNr.230424, "7A+LM" fled.

Another, "7A+PM" was left behind and destroyed by attaching an explosive charge to the center-section. Three others, "7A+HM", "7A+MM" and "7A+TM" were not blown up, but weren't flyable. All wore a blue letter, outlined white.

Rajlich, Kokoka and Janda's Luftwaffe Over Czech Territory, JaPo, 2001 has nice coverage of this.
