Two photos of the same machine, an Emil of 5.(S)./LG2, with an obvious “Red O”. A Lt. is named on photo’s back (Any idea?) and date; 19 April (1941) is given too. No place.
Jochen Prien did already published two different pictures of this machine, JFV Teil 5, page 315.
His caption does refer to II.(S)/LG2 only and says place was Trikkala on 21 April.
In loss list, pages 316 & 317, we can find:
- One loss at Kozani on 19 April.
- Two losses at Trikkala on 22 April.
… But none on 21 April as cited above.
Bruch rate concerning the three given losses aren’t that different of what we can see on four pictures, so it’s amazing the said 21 April accident isn’t reported … But, after all, one will say “normal Luftwaffe report behavior, as usual”.
Concerning place Jochen wrote: Kozani .04.41 to .04.41 and Trikkala .04.41 to 30.04.41. Not very helpful.
But, from same seller, same batch (photo-album?) we can find the following …

… where Kozani is clearly mentioned on 17 April 1941.
So?

Ooooh I just do realize the really reason of that argument in another thread!
I did put a link (links) showing us an unknown emblem on a II.(S)/LG2 machine already published by Dr. Prien & All ! (the machine, not the emblem which wasn't visible)
And, capital offense, I dared to comment published captions ... And ask for Captain's name translation too !!!!
Note: Knowing that Gerhard, Axel (and Prien?) are preparing emblem volumes you can understand the situation if they don't get the picture .. Unless they're ready to pay 1500 Euros for it !
I'm just kidding, don't worry.
