Re: Possible Staffel or Schwarm insignia on rudders of some 3./KG55 He111Ps during the Polish Campaign?

Thanks, this is a fascinating album which I will spend some time looking over. My initial observations on the umbrella emblem is that this was a common theme with KG 55. The attached photo is from He 111P G1+HP WNr.1992, of Gerhard Pulver 6./KG 55. It seems to be related to the BoB/Blitz, so later than the other photos. It is not the same as those in the album, but suggests that the umbrella carrying gentleman (probably Chamberlain) was used generally with KG 55, rather than being a staffel or personal emblem.
