Luftwaffe im Focus Special #2

[George Hopp]

Photo11/pp.8-9, Ju88 C-6 W7+D?. I have a question about FuG 212 C-1. Its upper right antenna is canted 45deg. Was it sabotaged, or an officially produced variation?

No, Hohentwiel, the antenna must have been sabotaged because it was not an official modification. Good eyes though, because until you pointed it out I hadn't noticed it .

Hi George,

my eyes weren't as good as JYoung's eyes ;-) but thanks for your
information! Maybe GIs or civilians brake the antenna. The question
about this photo is the small yellow fuselage band. JYoung told us
something about the code W7+D_. It would be very interesting if this
a/c was from NJG 100. Maybe this small band was a special marking
practice of this unit for a while? Also the camouflage is very interesting
too. Does anybody know more similar Ju 88 G?

Regards,
Sven.

Hi, Hohentwiel,
[quote=Hohentwiel] JYoung told us something about the code W7+D_.


I’m sorry because I have no conclusive evidence, but the fuselage code seems to be so for me.


Hi, George, thank you for your help and praise.

Best regards.
