Re: Eagle Attacking Winged British Lion Emblem

Larry,

Thank you for your prompt reply. What puzzled me about this photo is firstly the writing on the back of the photo, which points to the location in the western part of Germany, I believe. This might, or might not be relevant since the writing might have been added at some later date, even after the war.

Secondly, there are no wooden planks commonly seen on the Norwegian airfields - for comparison please refer to the attached photo, which was taken from a photo album with the associated writing "Ltn. Brandis erster Abschuss", which would be claimed on 9-Apr-1941, while with 1.(Z)/JG 77 -100km SW Herdla; Blenheim (N3609) "QY-H" of 254 Sqn, RAF flown by P/O JA Pawy, 3 killed - source http://www.luftwaffe.cz/brandis.html.

Regards,
Sinisa
