Re: Photos 3-8, part one
Ed,
Many thanks for anothere great set of photos. This one - http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=170199869030 looks like it is from the same series as a photo on page 27 of Luftwaffe im Focus No 4 - this identifies the right hand emblem on the board as being "the red Devil in Chains" emblem of 1./KGr 806. This photo series relates to Lt Werner Tronicke and crew completing the units 2000th combat sortie on 11 May 1942 at Catania. I believe later copies of the LimF carried further explanations of the emblems significance.
