Re: I.ZG 76 code
2N+ was last used by III./ZG 76 in early 1941, before it was ultimately absorbed into the various elements of JG 77/JG 5. Check out Eric Mombeek's 'Eismeerjäger Band 1'.
S9+ was used by Erprobungsgruppe 210/Schnellkampfgeschwader 210/Zerstörergeschwader 1, the lineage of those units from July 1940, until ZG 1's code was changed to 2N+. First record of 2N+ being used by ZG 1 was in the loss/damage report for 8th November 1942, a Me 210 A-1 coded 2N+AT, 25% damaged. The attribution of 2N+ to ZG 76 is an error going back decades to misidentification in several books. Barry Rosch's book is a monumental tome, but it does contain errors, particularly with regard to Bf 110s.

Re: I.ZG 76 code
Hmm... I dont know. I have only 1 photoe of Me410A "Gelbe 7" from 6./ZG 26.
Another proof of M8+ code of ZG 76 in 1944: Hauptmann Johannes Kiel, standing near Bf110G-2 from 7./ZG 76. Look in area near his sigarette, to right from it. You can see small letter "m" on the fuselage, the first letter of "m8+?R" code. http://pics.livejournal.com/bersrk/pic/00005w95 Best wishes, Evgeniy.

Re: I.ZG 76 code
Zerstörer units in the Reichsverteidigung did use numbers, just like the fighterunits for a short time spring 1944!
Extract from WASt-Verlustmeldung II/ZG 26, Me 410: 20.02.44 Lost black 1+ 21.02.44 Lost white 3+ Latest end march 44 they went back to use 4 digit code! Attached image of Me 410 II/ZG 26! Junker Last edited by ju55dk; 12th August 2018 at 11:56. |
