Major Oskars Dinort's Junkers Ju.87B

[macmullin]

I am looking for an aircraft profile or identification information on Major Oskars Dinort's Junkers Ju.87B (StG.2) when he was in located in France (Guise, 1940). From what I understand Major Oskars Dinort and StG.2 attacked shipping in the English Chanel during this time period. If anyone could help me out it would be appreciated.

macmullin,

In an exhaustive search for Ju87 profile subjects during 1939-40, I've never discovered any photo of Dinort's a/c during either the Western Campaign or the Battle of Britian periods. I'd be equally interested in such information.

Larry, I personalty have not seen any photographic or read any reference material about Dinort's aircraft. What it may have looked like is anyone's guess?

If any one feels my conclusions are way off please correct me. But, we all know that Major Osker Dinort was the Geschwader of St.G 2 from 15-10-39 till 15-10-41. The one thing I do know Stg.2 had just updated to the Ju.87 B2 from the Ju.87 B1 at the beginning of Battle of Britain hostilities. I'm quite confident it would have the standard RLM 70 & 71 upper surfaces with the bottom RLM 65, German Crosses, and Swastika.

The first part of the identification unite code letters for St.G 2 is T6. Perhaps the secondary unite code would be the Geschwaderstabe of A A (first letter being the colour blue). It may have supported a Stabskette - white shield with a black cross (I have noted other colour combinations of this Stabskette) just in front and below the cockpit. Yellow bottom wingtips, and maybe a yellow band around the tail of the fuselage with a blue & black prop spinner.
