Re: The use of the code Amsel
I think the answer is likely to be that Amsel was a unit callsign, not a phonetic letter. Just as in the RAF and USAAF, these callsigns didn't have to mean anything, they just had to be words clearly distinguishable over a radio link. In early 1944 for example, Staffeln of I./JG 2 were Trommelfell (ear drum), Mansarde (attic) and Pilatus (Pilate), their ground control was Bleistift (pencil).
Someone here may know which unit Amsel was.
