Re: HE111 Crash Photo

The unit is definitely 2./KG 1 in the 1940 period. The idiosyncratic code combined with the distinctive insignia indicates this. The codes are that of a IV. Gruppe which is a carry-over from when the unit was IV./KG 152. The insignia is proven to be of this Gruppe thanks to in-flight pics of He 111s displaying the codes and the insignia at the same time.

The insignia and code idiosyncrasies are described in our book "Bomber Units of the Luftwaffe".
