Re: BAUMBACH'S JU188 ?

Ed
You are undoubtedly correct about the code carried by Baumbachs Ju188 not being + AA and I have also never seen an operational KG200 aircraft with a unit emblem but here we apparently have one or do we? I don't think Baumbach flew any combat operations after he left KG30. Either he had a personal aircraft with his former unit insignia for his use while on staff or as Komodore of KG200. I think the latter is more likely. As to code it could just as easily have still been the Stammkennzeichen. Unless some source comes forward with either a photo or a logbook we may never know.
