Emblems of TrG 186

Hi

I am aware that several emblems were worn, or attributed to units of TrG 186. I am particularly interested in the ‘Graf Zeppelin’ shield emblem that was stated in Ketley and Rolfe (1998) # 533 as belonging to 4./TrG 186. The first photo from eBay here was taken at Jever in November 1939, and appears to be red 4, so presumably would be 5./TrG 186. The other photo is a Ju 87B coded J9+XK which had belonged to 2./TrG 186. These both have the Graf Zeppelin shield emblem (a further Ju 87B coded J9+YK may also have the emblem). I believe that the ‘Graf Zeppelin’ emblem may been a ‘geschwader’ emblem rather than just 4./TrG 186, (or II./TrG 186). Does anyone have any further evidence?


Regards Ian
