Re: Unidentified He111 insignia on two force-landed a/c Western Campaign

Hi,

of course I didn`t refer to this photo. The original print of above photo reveals that this plane has a full fuselage code and was flown most likely by the 3./LG1.
It probably crash-landed on the 10.05.40.
Three other He-111 with the same emblem have a strange-painted propellers and most probably belonged to 1./LG1 (one of them came down in the vicinity of Dunkirk).
This "devil riding a bomb" emblem is very similar to emblem introduced by 3./KG1 especially when the full view of emblem is blocked.

Regards

Robert
