Hello,

I'm aware of some images in old publications showing what appears to be movie film frames of a Stuka with a black "Jesau" cross superimposed on a white shield with a thin dark outline that has been identified all the way back to the old Karl Ries books as the insignia of Stab StG2. These images are not very clear.

My questions are:

1) According to Ketley and Rolfe, this was the insignia for Stab StG2 on Ju87Rs and Ds from 1940 to 1943. Can anyone point me to a source photo(s) showing this black "crusader" cross on a white shield with a thin black or red outline on any a/c with a fully identifiable a/c code?

2) Since the photo of the Stuka with this insignia on the nose appears to have come from a movie film, can anyone point out a source for this film clip, perhaps on the internet?

Note: This is not to be confused with the white cross on a red shield that both Ries and Ketley/Rolfe erroneously ID as the insignia of Stab StG2. This was, in fact, the insignia of 7./StG2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
