Pardon?
Now for those of us who only speak variable versions of English... As for the answer... I/KG 2 used a white stripe. That's all I know. Hope it helps Adam |

Re: Nose band colour on KG 2 Do 17Z
Adam, dont be angry, this is something between old friends. As you can see on these photos from Zwolfaxing in April 1941 there was red band as well. Anybody knowing anything about this emblem on "Trudelchen"? I think I saw it somewhere before. Unfortunately negatives I obtained are quite damaged and overexposed.
I also need help in identifying individual Staffel letters on fuselage of I./KG 2, 6./KG 2 and III./KG 2 Dorniers in April 1941. Anybody with Barry Rosch' book at hand? PS Ma tu sam matori, Luiggi valjda sutra ide u ZG po skenove kod Rhee, sigurno ce ti se javiti, pa onda nastavlja u Crikvenicu. Steta sto nisi dosao, cujem da te kisa poklopila u Zeltwegu.

Re: Nose band colour on KG 2 Do 17Z
As a general rule, the unit id letters (last letter) are as follows (same is true for St.G. as well) :
Stab - A Stab I. - B 1 Sta. - H 2 Sta. - K 3 Sta. - L Stab II. - C 4 Sta. - M 5 Sta. - N 6 Sta. - P Stab III. - D 7 Sta. - R 8 Sta. - S 9 Sta. - T |

I believe the nose bands in KG2 generally followed standard Lw colour practice; Green for Stab, White for I Gruppe, Red for II Gruppe, & Yellow for III Gruppe.

...and if you have access to Balke's book, it expalins the colour system (I do not have access at the moment)
