Luftwaffe erkennungsmarken - issuing system
Hi, guys.
Haven't really done much on this issue, but the question regarding an Erkennungemarke here earlier made me check my database, and I found that the system at least in 1942/43 in the fighter units I research are quite simple: Gruppe code Staffel code Individual personnel no For example, the '53137' is IV./J.G.5 In this unit at the time, 10. Staffel is Staffel code 'A', 11. Staffel is 'B' and 12. Staffel is 'C'. Thus, a given individual would have the Erkennungsmarke 53137 B/3 would indicate the third individual Erkennungsmarke issued by the 11. Staffel of JG 5 in this series. Have anyone tried to set this into system before, does a list of the E-marke issue series exist? Regards, Andreas |
