Re: Seeking into on the use of Stab symbols on 1940 Bf110s from the Stab elements of NJG1
That Ehle scored his sixth (confirmed) nocturnal victory in June 1942, doesn't mean that the picture with six night-victories bars on his ruder, was actually taken in June 1942.
The famous photo series with Ehle and Weng -which shows the Bf 110 E-2/4450 with six night-victories bars- are obvious taken in the winter. The pictures cannot have been taken after June 1942 because Ehle and Weng never saw each other again, after this month. That is why the pictures must have been taken in the winter 1941/42.
An example: the last pictures of the Ju 88 flew by Hans Hahn (NJG 2) which shows victory bars that do not appear in the official "Abschusslisten" (Luftwaffe im Focus Edition No 20 - "der Ju88 C-4 Nachtjäger von Lt. Hans Hahn, 1941").
The official confirmation of some victory’s was up to 2 years later.
