Re: info about emblem on he111 9K+AA Oberst Kammhuber
Yes, this is almost certainly the KG51 Geschwaderkommodore aircraft of KAMMHUBER. However, despite what the caption says IMO it is not the aircraft in which he was brought down on June 3, 1940, for that was a Junkers Ju88, the unit having started to exchange its Heinkel He111s for the new type the previous March. The aircraft shown is probably the original superceded aircraft awaiting disposal.
Other members of this forum will be able to offer you better advice than I on the three Gruppe emblems shown and the possible background colour of the shield, but the third digit would have been Stabs Green.
