Re: The Ju88C-equipped Zerstörerstaffel of KG 30 during 1940
Well, this thread threw me into a flurry of activity. Where I got the idea that the unit code was (4D+ _U) is lost in the 11 years since I wrote that part of our book. I can find no evidence for a specific code for ZSt./KG 30. However, it is clear that the aircraft in question was definitely coded (4D+FH). How do I know? The book "Aero Detail 20 - Junkers Ju 88" has beautiful clear colour photos of the salvaged wreck clearly showing this code. No doubt about it. Also semi-visible are limited details of the "splinter" camouflage pattern which may aid in making your profile. Contemporary photos of the wreck from various angles show no insignia at all.
I suggest that you obtain a copy of the Aero Detail 20 book (it is one of those Japanese/English productions) as it has scads of detail views of Ju 88s, showing the differences in the types.
There are some nice shots of the undersides of the wings showing the coding and the wingtips are of the A-5 type. The canopy is A-5 like also.
Hoping this helps....
