Ju 87 A Geschwader identification help
Hi folks!
I’m not an expert for early Luftwaffe planes and their markings. Could somebody tell me the Geschwader/Gruppe/Staffel for this Ju 87 A planes. 35+D11 (all black) 52+C24 (all black) 52+B11 (B is white) Cheers, Simon

Re: Ju 87 A Geschwader identification help
According to "Luftwaffe Camouflage and Markings" Vol 2 (pages 232 & 233) it should be:
35+D11 = 1./StG 163 52+C24 = 4./StG 165 52+B11 = 1./StG 165

Re: Ju 87 A Geschwader identification help
Hi, Simon...
In additional to Christian's information, it might be of interest to you to know that the first two characters in the pre-war codes indicated the Luftkreis (air dristrict) and numerical position of the unit within that Luftkreis. '35' therefore, would indicate Luftkreis 3 (Headquarters at Dresden), and St.G.163 being the fifth Geschwader within that area. '52' indicated Luftkreis 5 with its Headquarters at Munich, and St.G.165 being the second Geschwader of that area. Regards...

Thank you for the help!
So the '35' and '52' are the Geschwader identification. Letters D, C, B are the aircraft identification letter, last number is the Staffel! Is the number between the letter and last number the Gruppe? Cheers, Simon
