Re: KG60 unit symbol ?

Andre

The only formed unit I./KG 60 is one of the more obscure bomber units in Luftwaffe. It's two operational Staffeln were formed from a training unit giving instructions to future Luftwaffe operational leaders in dive bombing. It seems like forming this operational unit was again one of Dietrich Peltz ideas since he was made the first commander of the unit, whose missions were to dive-bomb shipping with their Ju 88. It was formed in August 1942 and dissolved in Februari 1943.

I doubt very much that any unit marking(s) ever existed. Peltz does not seem to me being an individual who would encourage anything like it and the unit was too small and specialised to have any basic need of such an esprit-de-corp emphasizer...

Photos are probably few to find. I can only recall one photo of a Ju 88A P1+PK on its nose at Cagliari

Cheers
Stig
