Heinkel He 45 and He 46

[TheMakster]

Hello
I am looking for information and photos of He 45 and He 46 from the beginning of the war. Do you know where they were stationed? Any field airports? I am interested in the end of August and the first few days of September 1939. Where did they fly to Poland from? Every little piece of information will come in handy.
I am particularly interested in the unit aufklarungsgruppe 31 where they were at the beginning of 1939.
Thank you

All I have, all are eBay auction heading images hence the scribbles and blotting out of swastikas.

Had you mentioned this in your first post I would not have wasted my time finding images of other staffels of Auf.Kl.Gr. 31 for you.

 

[TheMakster]

No, it's great that you found these photos. They are very important to me. Thank you very much

 

[Chris Simmonds]

Ok no worries. I have many more He 45/46 images, but not of Auf.Kl.Gr. 31

 

[TheMakster]
