Identity of Hs123 with Code 52+A13
I recently obtained a photo of an Hs123 taken about 1938 that has the code 52+A13. I know that "52" means the 2nd Gesch. assigned to Luftkreiskommando 5, Munich, but what unit was that?
Thanks, |

Hi Larry,
Do you happen to have the Werknummer for the kite? That might help. By any chance, did you purchase the photo about 3-4 weeks ago from eBay?

Hey Larry
This plane belonged to 3./StG 165. The Werknumber was: 968. I have seen two photos of this plane, both shall be taken in 1937. JoMe |

Re: Identity of Hs123 with Code 52+A13
There is a photo showing Werknummer 968 with civilian register, D-IKSW.
For the military code 52+A13 (white 'A') I also have 3./St.G.165 as the unit. Interstingly, the Hakenkreuz is applied directly over a red band on fin/rudder, without the usual white disk.
