Re: Winter Camouflage of 5./KG 30 Junkers Ju 88 1941-42?

Hi Ed

Looking at the swastika, it appeared to me that it had been applied over the paint rather than the paint being applied around it. I could of course be wrong.

As this image is part of a large document grouping to one of the airman in the photograph, I know this crew was based in Banak in 1942 they are from 5./KG 30 and took part in the invasion of Norway, attacks on shipping off Norway and Battle of Narvik. They were based in the north until transfer to Comiso on Sicily in late 1942.
