Re: 411.Squadron the 7.May 1944

Thank You very much for the responses, You have given!!!

Sorry to ask furthermore, but is the letters on Orr´s aeroplane known and is it possible to find a picture of him?

What is a fleur-de-lis emblem?

Best wishes from cloudy Denmark

Christian

The fluer-de-lis is a French symbol, based on a lily flower. The Canadians writing the 411 Squadron diary would recognize this symbol from the Quebec flag. It is possible that it was some other stylized flower, that the Canadians took for a fleur-de-lis.

Hello Bill!
Thank You!
Could it be that in the heat of battle, they have believed, that the french flower in fact was the "S" = Schlageter, which was carried by A/C´s from JG 26.
Again sorry for all these questions.
Best wishes

Christian
