Hello Cliff

The emblem on the rear fuselage was the unit marking of 4./JG51 and it indeed is a caricature of the honourable British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain's umbrella, which accompanied him everywhere, became a source of fun in the German military and his 'bookish' dignified manner is represented by the woodpecker figure.

You can just make out on the emblem has a strap line "Gott Straff England" 'God Punish England', a comment similar to the Wehrmacht's belt buckle "Gott Mit Uns" 'God with us', both rather dubious considering the outcome of the Battle of Britain and the war in general as He very obviously wasn't!

Cheers

Chris
