Re: Red cross and Ju-52

This Ju52 has a small eagle emblem on leading edge of fin. He59 ambulances were also seen with this eagle (although not visible in this photo) and the swastika displayed as seen here - 'square' on, with its 'arms' extending to the border of the white circle, rather than at the 'angled' position on other military aircraft. This combination of eagle emblem and 'squared' swastika was the Reichsdiestflagge, and has also been noted on air sea resuce Do24s. It may well have been applied like this to the Ju52 in the photo.
