Re: Photos + 10-8-05

After thinking about it and doing some research, it appears that this is a hitherto unknown insignia for III./St.G. 51, later, (7.40) II./St.G. 1. The wide white ring on the prop spinner is diagnostic. If the last two letters of the code are DT, this would be a problem, however, as this would indicate 9./St.G. 51, which already has a well-known "devil riding a bomb" insignia. Could this be a personal emblem, or could it be an insignia that predates the "devil riding a bomb" staffel insignia?
