Need help identifying aircraft by unit codes/Stammzeichen
Hi All,
I am trying to identify the units the following aircraft were allocated to:
Arado Ar 68 coded BB+GH
Fieseler Storch coded LZ+DT
Focke Wulf TA 152-H1 WNr 120223
Heinkel He 111 coded VB+EF
Heinkel He 60 coded D-ILYN
Henschel Hs 126 coded H1+BL
Junkers Ju 52-3m coded NH+N- (last letter unknown)
Junkers W 34 coded CD+HJ
Messerschmitt Bf 109 coded SL+KL
Focke Wulf Fw 190D WNr 220917
Any help would be much appreciated. Have trawled the internet for answers and many books in my library but no luck yet.

Thank you Luftflotte 2, I had found your link and after a search had located SL+KL but did not find BB+GH, thanks for that. 3 down, 7 to go!

Re: Need help identifying aircraft by unit codes/Stammzeichen
Just did a full check of the Stammzeichen here https://web.archive.org/web/20140508114 ... ichen.html and I am still looking for 7 unit identities as per my post above. Anyone have any clues?

Re: Need help identifying aircraft by unit codes/Stammzeichen
Got them all now except one. Focke Wulf Fw190D WNr 120223. Initially thought it was a Ta152 but it is very possibly a late model 190D with the larger tail fin. Any ideas of unit?
