Unit Marking ID...
I've been given a photograph taken at Udine-Campoformido airfield after the bombardment of January 30, 1944.
In the shot, amidst the rubble and the damages , there is a wrecked Saiman 202 with German Markings and a strange insignia on the nose, apparently consisting of a double white circle with a yellow (?) "K" inside. ![]() Is there anyone able to identify such badge? Thanks in advance.

Re: Unit Marking ID...
Ferdinando I think this is the insignia of Luftflotte 2 Italy , the "K" being the initial of GenFeldMar. Albert Kesselring who at the time was Oberbefehlshaber Sud;a similar badge was carried by Luftflotte 6 in Russia with a "G" for Ritter von Greim.
Kesselring had previously commanded LF2. Regards Nick |
