Ju 87 badge ID needed
Hi!

Can someone identify the insignia on this Ju 87 shot down in France in May 1940? The plane is supposed to be a C-0 and consequently would belong to 4.(St.)/Tr.Gr. 186 but the insignia looks a bit different from the "helmet on an anchor".
Thanks.

Hi,

I think this is I/StG76.

Regards

Robert

Robert,

Don't think so. The tail of the griffin (?) had more feathers.

Indeed and it looks kind of strange, unless the pinguin is walking towards the nose.
Can't make my mind up.

Hi,

I`m not writing about pinguin - there was a personal? emblem connected with II/StG2 showing a lion but it was just bigger than emblem on your photo. I think your photo shows belly-landed Stuka?

Regards

Robert

Re: Ju 87 badge ID needed
IMO it is I./StG 76 simply because of the shield. IIRC 6./StG 2 featured just a white Griffon without a background while I./StG 76's Griffon was the heraldic animal of the Steiermark region (white griffon on green shield).

The heraldic animal of Styria (Steiermark) is a "fire-spitting silver panther with red horns and claws" (an animal you don't see very often - not even in the zoo ...).
