Re: Me 323 unit insignias
Hi Chris
First one is 1./TG.5 - a flying Elephant with long wings with underslung suitcase. Elephant has belt around its belly (the dark ptch in your image)
Second is the emblem of Feldwerftverbande (MOT) 10 a ground based luftwaffe workshop unit which has been applied to the fuselage of a TG. 5 Me-323E-1. My guess is this emblem is a 'Zap' where the ground unit applied their emblem to the flying units aircraft, probably as a result of TG.5 transporting the equipment of FwVb (MOT) 10. There is a picture of this aircraft on Page 46 of The Squadron Signal publication 'Luftwaffe in Action Part 4'.
Cheers
Chris
