Re: Looking for sources for the Stab StG2 Black Jesau Cross on a white shield on any Ju87B during the 1939-40 period
GRM & Bf110,
Yep, this is probably at least one source for this film. I didn't watch the whole 2 hr film, but at about the 12 min mark there is a view of a real Stuka in flight with the Jesau "Crusader" insignia in question (port side), while my photo shows the starboard front side. Except for this marking, the rest of the ones I saw were all bogus. I suspect that that the film intersperses real film footage from combat cameramen with the staged shots of models or a/c with phony markings.
This makes me think that there is other footage out there, perhaps from German newsreels of the time, showing this and other Stukas from the 1939-1940 period. If anyone knows of any other film clips that would be helpful in our EOE Project for the Stuka part, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
In the meantime, I'm still searching for good images of any kind showing this Stab./StG2 insignia on Ju87Bs.
Regards,
