Re: I./FKG 50 emblem

Hello,
FKG 50 is the correct one, not KG 50. Only I./Gruppe (3 Staffeln) exist, bulit up in June 1942 in Brandenburg-Briest. Same of the personal came from I./KG 40.
Major Kurt Schede was Gruppenkommandeur (29. Juli 1942), the He 177A-1 came from the near by plant Oranienburg. At September 42 the unit has only 8 Heinkels by the end of Oktober 1942 20 Heinkel He 177 where ready for combat. The emblem from FKG 50 shows the stem of an Viking ship. The name "KG Worm" is therfore misledading and not qpplicalbe.
