Re: He 114 - Pinguin - Hilfskreuzer

Sorry, forgot about that. The crew on board "Pinguin" came from Bordfliegerstaffel 5./196 so if the aircraft came from the same unit, they would most likely carry the unit crest of this Staffel, an old type sailing ship with three sails on top of waves. However, many of the aircraft on board the raiders were either neutreal without markings or even painted up as Allied aircraft to mislead crews on Allied ships. The Pinguin crest was used by 1. and 3./Aufklärungsfliegergruppe 125. I believe that the 2. Staffel had another crest.
