Re: GRAF SPEE's AR196s 1939
Acutally, this Ar 196 was out of service from 11.12.1939. When landing after a recce sortie, the engine broke down and it was not possible to make a repair. This was also the spare engine, the first one had already been expended. The aircraft was taken on board and the engine and other equipment removed. The aircraft code was T3+AH as can be seen in the book "Bordflieger im Einsatz 1939-1945" by Franz Kurowski, Kurt Vowinckel Verlag, 1984, ISBN 3921 655 374. The photo also show that something looking like RAF roundels were painted on the undersides of the wings. However, the Balkenkreuz seems to appear on the fuselage sides together with the unit code.
