Jim, I don't take what you said personally. After all, you are perfectly right to have your own opinion on the discussion, and it does not have to be affirmative. As for the examples of the formerly Geschwader emblems being used as the personal emblems that you mentioned, I can say that I can recall seeing them. Although size/form does not matter, they were more or less in a miniature form, while the one we are discussing here was sported on the aircraft quite prominently. Anyway, that of course does not prove anything.

I did not follow your reference to General Christiansen, it refers to his personal emblem shown on another photo and is not related to this discussion. As for the other references that I posted on the "personal" emblem, there is a Christmas 1943 note to the soldiers of the Luftnachrichten Kompanie of Jagdgeschwader Rödel (i.e., JG 27) issued by its commanding officer, Hptm. Könneke The emblem on the left-hand side is that of the Luftnachrichten Kompanie, while on the right is that presumably of (Stab/)JG 27.

The photographic evidence posted is taken from the same Luftnachrichten Kompanie photo album, which gives some insight on the time while (elements of) JG 27 was/were based at Kalamaki, Greece. The emblem can be barely seen on the photo on the right hand side in the middle.

All that evidence points out that the (Stab/)JG 27 emblem existed. The aforementioned evidence might not be acceptable to everyone, but to me is an avenue worth exploring further.

Regards,
Sinisa
