Re: Color for Death's Head Insignia for KG54
Hello Larry,


Issue No. 1 of Luftwaffe im Focus (page 23) provides two color photos of the emblem for IV./KG 54 and dates the photos between 1.3.1942 and 29.5.1943. An illustration is included that shows the shield in medium blue with a white diagonal band just below the upper left corner, with a black outline, and the skull and crossbones in black. Personally, I think the outline of the shield is a darker blue as opposed to black.
