Hi,
General questions to the system and questions related to specific positions keeps popping up, so I found it appropriate to re-advertise this site for the benefit of new members:

While we are at it... I am having trouble figuring out another system of Quadrate used in Luftwaffe reports - examples (Russia, summer 1943): ZP7d, XQ9, ZQ1? Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
That is the post APR 1943 format, but you miss the Jagdtrapeze (e.g. 34 ON).

SES, but the subset of letters in this format ends with U and here we have Z, Y etc.?

Kind regards,

SES, whatever system it is, I figured out how to layer the coordinates over Heeres 1:100.000 map of Belgorod area and it seems to work

kind regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
Congrats, how did you do that, since Z as you pointed out so correctly is not a legal value.

Well, the coordinates are not compatible with post-may 1943 LUMA, and as I said I have not a slightest idea what it should be called - was it Luftwaffe or Heeres notation - but it was used throughout III./K.G. 55 diary and also in one daily report of IV. Fl.Korps.
For example - the quadrant ZP is divided in 9 parts, 3x3 matrix - ZP1 to ZP9, that would cover rectangulars formed by the grid on 1:100.000 map. Letter I seems to be illegal.

kind regards,
Pawel

Greetings, gents! During my research I got following list of coordinates:

34 Ost N/ SB-7
34 Ost N/ UL
34 Ost N/ TC
34 Ost N-7
34 Ost N/U-1.5
34 Ost N/AU-6
34 Ost N/SE-3
34 Ost N/UD-2
34 Ost N/UF-2
34 Ost N/TF-2
34 Ost/NT-4.6
34 Ost N/SG-8
34 Ost N/SG-5
34 Ost N/SG-8

All of the must be Mamaiya (Romania) - Odessa/Sevastopol (USSR) area. But how could I found more details? Could somebody help a little bit?

Hi Evgeny,
Excactly what is it you want to know?
On this page you'll find a converter - LUMA - which will convert your coordinates into lat/long:
