- pic of BAMA Microfiche scan shows this clearly.

-but catch is: 3935 was not yet produced, and was (in range with other) H-5 made in early 1941.

Indeed Ed

It is admittedly a high WNr being a H-5 and it seems at least KG 26 never listed any in that range during 1940. First recorded loss in the WNr 39xx range seems to be 3953 on 20 May 1941.

I checked what Steenbeck in his KG 26 book states and I don't know how he has to come to such a conclusion, but he more or less sits on two horses here...
11/9 He 111 H-3 WNr 6936 1H+EN oder WNr 3935 1H+FN II./KG 26 etc, etc

So if it cannot be 3935 on that date, from where does Steenbeck gets his WNr 6936?? Could that in fact be valid?
