Re: 5./KG76 Emblem?
This, then...

In addition, Doug and Larry's excellent Bomber units of the Luftwaffe 1933-45 vol 2 (Classic) on page 244 shows the Rampant Lion emblem, which you thought was III.Gruppe/KG76, Chris, as being exactly that, and at the top of page 227, a wave-patterned Ju88C-6 carrying the same emblem (minus the 'Heidelberg' legend above it) attributed to 9.Staffel/KG76. Doug and Larry also attribute the 'three upward arrows' insignia, on page 237, once believed to be 9./KG76 and now possibly 5.Staffel, to actually being 9.Staffel.

If nothing else, it definitely shows how easy it is to become confused...

Regards
