I'm sure you're right. The information I had was taken from a wrecked aircraft and often they had to make guesses from the parts of markings which survived.

OK Guys,

Thanks and welcome! Good stuff pals. Next?

Aaahh Yes the red dot:
I have it too Marc but I just wonder what about that particularity since all Gruppen had their own "balken" or "waves".
At least looks like a JG 53 "folie"!..

It will come back for sure in next future; no need to look for right now.

Cheers, Franck.

Ah, the red dot below the shield... this has puzzled me for a long time, Sinisa over on LEMB has it in his book on fighter emblems that this IS II./JG 3, I don't doubt him but I must admit to not having seen a photographic tie in between emblem and markings........

Thanks Nick and Franck for bringing me back in the right tracks... Age is starting getting a toll on my memory, obviously...

And also to you, gogh, for the stkz.


And now for the II./JG 3 red dot emblem: this is quoted from Rittger 2007... Any confirmation?

Much appreciated
Marc
