Unit insignia help. Crashed Ju 52.
Any help with identifying this unit insignia would be most appreciated.
Appears to be a picture of an Owl? I believe the photo was taken sometime between 01.1942 and 03.1942 either at Rshew or near Spas-Demensk on the Russian front. Regards David

Hi David,
Could be Westa 26, see attachment, looks very similar indeed. Regards, Melvin www.aircrewremembrancesociety.com Last edited by Melvin Brownless; 6th March 2013 at 19:53.

Re: Unit insignia help. Crashed Ju 52.
David, if you have the time correct, it can't be Westa 26 because they were in the Med. Perhaps it belongs to Fliegerfurhrerschule C 16 that was perhaps caught up in the trawl for transport planes to supply Stalingrad.

Re: Unit insignia help. Crashed Ju 52.
Thank you for the replies so far.
Someone has also suggested it could be 2.(F)/Nacht, but no sample insignia was provided? Regards David

Re: Unit insignia help. Crashed Ju 52.
Hi David,
Here s 2.(F)/Nacht drawing and an original photo. It's a circle and not a shield, so this one is unlikely, plus what would a recce staffel be doing with a Ju52? Cheers Chris Last edited by ChrisS; 10th October 2013 at 16:03.
