Re: 9/KG53 insgnia?

Chris, just for the record, on your first attachment you state that this is an emblem for KG.53, my records show that this emblem is for 3./KG 27.

Hi, Trevor...

Sorry, but I'm a little confused... I don't see anything in this thread relating to KG27. Am I missing something obvious...? Apologies in advance if I am...

Hi Trevor

I've checked again to be on the safe side and my sources, Ketley and Rolf and Karl Ries say KG 53.

Cheers

Chris

Re: 9/KG53 insgnia?

Hi,

I have a question that has to do with the emblems of KG53.

I only know the "Gruppe" emblems and didn't know that each Staffel had his own emblem. Do the Staffels of Gruppe II all have the Gruppe emblem with a different bird inside the emblem? Or are all the emblem totally different from the gruppe emblems, like the pic of Staffel 9.?

Can someone maybe place pics or drawings of the different staffel emblems?

Thanks in advance and regards,

Thomas

I have these as 4 Staffel in 2 different variations.

I have deleted the others on this page as they all belong to JG 53:

Hello,

As far I can remember, the last seven emblems were seen on Bf 109 E's of
JG 53, or am I wrong ?
Regards
Marc

Re: 9/KG53 insgnia?

Thank you Marc you are correct, I've made a typo from the original source! They are Bf 109 JG 53 personal insignia. I have removed them all from this post and adjusted the text to save confusion, likewise I have deleted the other post for the same reason. Sorry to cause confusion.

Cheers

Chris

Not all of them. Axe is an emblem of stab II./JG52.
