Unknown emblem of a Stuka in Chania
Can anyone recognise this emblem on that Stuka in Chania area 05.1941?

Similar to the unidentified emblem 535 on page 59 of Luftwaffe Emblems by Barry Ketley & Mark Rolfe (Hikoki). Also discussed on LEMB here

Re: Unknown emblem of a Stuka in Chania
As far as i know, there were only 4 Sturzkampfgeschwader (with Ju 87) in May 1941 fighting at Crete:
St.G. 1, 2, 3 and 77. All of them with the well known emblems. Maybe that`s a privat one, or ???

Hi,
I have a photo from E-bay showing part of the code: ??+NR or ??+NP with white or yellow "N" letter. Now tell me please which dive-bomber units were operating over Crete? Robert

Looks as if the top part has been chalked in and only the bottom part has been painted. A work in progress perhaps???.
I'll dig out a German book I have on Luftwaffe emblems and see if it's in there :-)

Re: Unknown emblem of a Stuka in Chania
Sure a work in progress. I agree with Clint. The art looks very similar ( bottom part ) with the badge nº 535 of the mentioned book. There are several guide lines in the drawing that makes it looks a different one.
