Re: Fw 58 book - Badges identification/correction

Hi.

I have a very clear photo of the II./JG 77 Weihe, and it has the usual Eagle Head emblem of this unit, as seen on their Bf 109's during the invasion in Norway.

As this badge was carried on II./JG 77 aircraft from before the invasion of Norway and Denmark on April 9th 1940 and well into Barbarossa, I do not think a Weihe of this unit would carry another emblem.

If the photo was supposed to be taken before Weserübung, my guess would be that the Seagull emblem would have been seen.

Regards,
Andreas
