Title: Fast Recog Elements of 233 ShAD Post by: 66misos on September 05, 2015, 08:36:52 PM Hi,
this interesting picture was posted at VIF: (https://vif2ne.org/nvi/forum/files/Morsunin/(150905141259)_00000203.jpg) Seems to be scan of the original document. Note "Secret" written on the top right corner. Individual ShAPs within 233 ShAD had to use following colors: -62 ShAP red color, - 198 ShAP blue color, - 312 ShAP yellow color. Intersting, not white but yellow. Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Fast Recog Elements of 233 ShAD Post by: Graham Boak on October 06, 2015, 10:47:56 AM Fascinating, but a date would be helpful, particularly in view of the Luftwaffe use of yellow band around the rear fuselage as an identity marking. Does this belong to a period where the Luftwaffe was no longer a significant force to be reckoned with, or is it a sign of ignorance in the higher command?
