Re: Me 109 K-4 Unit? Schwerin Jüterbog Damm --> Ofw Heinz Rühlmann
Hi Andy,
I don't think that he was an instructor as he flew always alone and during conversion first the Ar 96 and then the Bf 109 F/G and finally the K. The Fw 189 had first the code H1, then 5H, then N5. I couldn't find N5 in a LW code list. Perhaps that would help to identify another unit. First flight with a H1 aircraft was on 4.3.41. First combat mission on 28.6.41. Regards, Roger |

Re: Me 109 K-4 Unit? Schwerin Jüterbog Damm --> Ofw Heinz Rühlmann
Hi Roger,
Thanks again. If he did flew with 2/NAGr.16 after 5(H)/12 that would make sense as this unit continued to fly the FW189 until late in the war. Together with the info provided by Pawel and John it is possible that Rühlmann flew with the following units, 5(H)/12, 2/NAGr.16, Erg.NAGr., II/AG103 and finally 2/NAGr.2 On what date do the codes switch from 5H to N5 Best Regards Andy Fletcher Last edited by Andy Fletcher; 22nd February 2006 at 21:49. |

Re: Me 109 K-4 Unit? Schwerin Jüterbog Damm --> Ofw Heinz Rühlmann
Reconnaissance unit does not mean taking photograph
example NAG 15 in Liberec at the end of the war , there were Bf 109 K-4 , bf 109 G-10 either reco and non reco variant, and Bf 109 G-14 and Bf 109 G-8 It was the same with french unit Gr33 , the spitfire often operated by pair soöe spitfire were not converted to recco role It was tactical recco , low altitude eric |

Eric,
How do you mean that? The made visual recce and reported what they saw and flew fighter aircraft as protection? Regards, Roger Andy, First flight with a N5 code was on 2.11.43 from Bromberg. That would fit to Pawel's info Erg.Nahaufkl.Gr. Bromberg (1942). Best regards, Roger |

Re: Me 109 K-4 Unit? Schwerin Jüterbog Damm --> Ofw Heinz Rühlmann
I would say that tactical reconnaissance does not mean always taking photos , so some mossions can be made by normal fighters . There are examplkes in JG 300 vol II book og J. Y Lorant , some recconnaissance missions were made by this unit to see where was the battle front .
in french unit one fighter was taking photos or doing its mission portected by the second one Eric |

Apparently, no more change till end of war. Some Me109Gs are known to have been flown by NAGr.Bromberg. So,why not Me109s of the K type? |
