Heinkel He-60, which unit?

[RAF_Loke]

July 3rd. 1941 a Heinkel He-60 made an emergency landing at see 2-3 miles southwest of Rønne in the morning. It was towed to the beach at Korsodde, just below Rønne airport when it hit the rocks and one float was damaged and the aircraft ended up with the nose in the water.
The code is believed to be 7R + MH, and according to Airwar over Denmark. Airwar over Denmark by Søren C. Flensted. Air War over Denmark it is believed to have belonged to 1./SAGr 125 Seeaufklärungsgruppe.

However according to this site Aufklärungsgruppe 125 (See) 1./SAGr 125 was not formed before 13.7.43 in Sevastopol.

Again at this site WW2 German Seeaufklärungsgruppen it did excist from April 1941, with base in Kiel-Holtenau.

Any idea what is correct?

Why was it moved to here when it has nothing to do with markings and paint?

 

[Wurger]

And what does it have in common with the aircraft crashes and ID of parts while the question is about the unit having its code letters/ markings ?


.. moved from another section...

Well it was about an aircraft crash, which is why I placed it there.
Would have chosen unit forum, but there is none.

Cheers

From the Luftwaffe Colours book "Seeflieger - Luftwaffe Maritime Aircraft and Units - 1935-1945"...

".....As a result, the formation of Fleigerführer Ostsee² on 1 April 1941 brought for the first time the Luftwaffe's own maritime air unit, Aufklärungsgruppe 125 (See)³ to the forefront of operations...."
