Re: Luftwaffe unit emblems - "Battle of Britain" era
Gladiator,
I do not know where Mr. Urbanke got his references from, but... it should be fairly obvious that the 1./JG 26 emblem (later) motif represents a bird, and not a mythical creature from the Bavarian Alps.
The wings are that of an eagle, while the birds head might be open for interpretation in the absence of a close-up photo.
In my personal opinion, the bird's head does not look like an eagle's head.
Best Regards,
Sidney
