ID of Ju87B unit?
 

Hello,

Couldn't win this photo on eBay, but still need ID of unit. The nearest looks like possibly S2+AC, but these might also have the Scottie dog emblem of I./StG2. Anybody have a hight res image of this one, and any idea of when and where it was taken. Centered swasticas but 1940 style cross seem to confirm that this is either WC or maybe BoB. Any thoughts or info?

Hi Larry,

it is possible, that "S2" was "just" the former marking of a school. I have had a similar case with a picture of Ju87B of StG 101.
There was a "S17" Marking visible, wich was not changed and belonged to a school, where the AC was used before.

The S17 code was part of a school unit identity code. Thanks to the researches of Carlsen and Meyer we know the following code combinations:

S17+Bnn - Fl.Ausb.Rgt. 24 at Parndorf
S17+Cnn - FFS C Zeltweg
S17+Dnn - FFS C Wiener Neustadt
S17+Fnn - FFS C Zeltweg
S17+Mnn - LNS 2 at ?

where nn is the number of the individual aircraft within the unit.
