Re: Colors of I./JG 1 insigna on He 162
According to the latest research, more precisely by Peter Rodeike, who wrote an article entitled "Der Teufel über den Wolken?", which was published in Jet&Prop 1/2012, pages 25-29, also supported by the contemporary drawing created by one of the then IV./JG 1 tehnicians, Ogefr. Lammers, the emblem background colour was yellow, which was interpreted as reflection of the Hell’s fire, while the cloud-like design was interpreted as the vapour of Hell.
The same article quoted the former IV./JG 1 pilot, Eberhard Burath, who once stated talking about the Gruppe emblem motif "Die Feinde soll der Teufel holen" [the enemies should be grabbed by the Devil].
