Re: Heinkel He 51

Post No.5 refers. Thank you for the assessment Gerhard, and apology for the late acknowledgement. To try and illustrate the point, attached is a copy of the negative of the photo of "White 1" of 1./StG 165, the non-commissioned officer first from the left hand side is then Fw. Robert Olejnik. The Devil's head emblem was previously thought to have been the Staffel emblem of 1./StG 165, which would be suggested by the Staffel's pilots group photo in front of the aircraft sporting this emblem. I find three, or possibly even more, personal emblems prominently sported on the aircraft flanks bit unusual feature for the early Luftwaffe period, that is 1936-37.

Regards,
Sinisa
