Pre-war reconnaissance codes
Hi, folks...
I have seen a photo of a Heinkel He45 coded 20+M22, which I understand to represent aircraft 'M', of 2.Staffel, II.Gruppe, Aufklärungsgruppe 12. However, I have also seen a Heinkel 46 coded 20+B32, which I would have thought was a coding anomaly, as I understood the codes to be read in reverse (right to left), therefore this reads as 2.Staffel, III.Gruppe, Aufklärungsgruppe 12. Going on the basis that III.Gruppe would not be likely to have included 2.Staffel, can someone please explain this to me? Just to totally confuse me, there are also photos of He60s coded 60+D81 and 60+G91 based within Luftkreis VI's territory, HQ at Kiel. Can these two examples be explained by whatever rule governs the previous examples above, or are they something peculiar to maritime reconnaissance units? Thanks... Paul
