What was this part used for ? (Heinkel177)
good afternoon everybody,
here is a bracket from a He177, we can read on it : "Rauch Gerät Erstesmal, Ziehen innen Zweites mal, Ziehen aussen", which would basically mean (correct me if I am wrong) "smoke device, first time, pull inside, second time, pull outside" What could it be ? I thought of some device to open a trap to get rid of the smoke, but your opinion will be highly appreciated. GC Last edited by gilles collaveri; 17th November 2018 at 19:38. |

So, it would be a smoke emettor on board the dinghy, that you trigger when aircraft searching arrive, to be seen on the sea ?

Yes smoke signal and a torch. I guess smoke during day, torch when dark or in dusk.
