My question is:
- did a few He 177s of II./KG 40 wear the markings of KG 100?
- or was the same camo pattern shared by both units?
Thanks in advance.

these photos are in the Bundesarchiv online gallery - labelled Tannenberg, East Prussia. From the wider shot showing one bomber getting airborne they are not at Mérignac
