Wilde Sau with KG 51 and SKG 10.

Possibly due to lack of regular night fighters in France, it was decided in April 1944 to employ I, II/KG 51 (Me 410) and I/SKG 10 (Fw 190) on Wilde Sau missions over North Western France in full-moon periods. These units were under operational control of IX Flieger Korps, who was conducting a limited offensive against the UK. This had included some Fernnachtjagd missions by KG 51. Please see:

In preparation of this article I searched in vain for photos/drawings of Me 410 in KG 51 servive, Fw 190 in SKG 10 service and the crest of SKG 10 - if indeed they had one. Can anybody help please?
