Fw 58 book - Badges identification/correction
Hello all,
I´m trying to identify some Weihes to the book but I have been unsucesfull to discover from wich unit the badge belonged. It proved dificulty not only due the image quality but my library is limited. Surely several books are released in Germany by publihsers or privately so must ask a help from TOCH members to identify or correct me. 01 - This badge is in a Weihe photographed in France, 1940. No more details are know. Maybe an earlier badge from KG 255 / KG 51 or a personal emblem? 02 - Last letters from Stkz is +HP FFS A/B 52. 03 - The photo identifies this Weihe as probably belonging to II./JG77. I could not find any matching badge in the books I have. No Stkz visible 04 - This one is similar to the 11.(H)Pz/Aufkl.Gr 11 but can´t confirm the info. No Stkz visible. 05 - Crossing its Stkz BO+LZ on various listings I found two entries to this Weihe: FFS A/B 121 and FFS A/B 15 but A/B 15 must be an error since this School is not mentioned in any book I have!. I could not find a matching badge. 06 - This one is very hard to identify since the photo is very poor. Stkz is DK+MJ plus a large white 5 on nose, reported taken on 1942. At first there is a guess it could belongs to a NJG Schule but on book "Luftwaffe Camouflage 1935-1945" page 84 there is a similarly marked machine ( Stkz not visible, large white 1 plus badge on nose). There the author states the plane is from a school based on Brandenburg-Briest. That´s Fluglehrschule der Luftwaffe. I do not have any information on this School and its purpose. DK+MJ is not listed on several listings I obtained from various researchers. 07- Another one hard to identify. It looks the Weihe has two badges. Largest one looks a card with a flying bird. The smallest remembers two crossed bayonets or batons with a Luftwaffe eagle (maybe not) on top. 08 - Kullerkopf badge from 1./JG5 1943. Stkz KB+HP W.Nr. 58023. Shoot down on 5 July 1943 by Mosquito. 09 - A very elaborated badge or personal marking! Weihe identified as belonging to JG5 in Finland. Badge shows what looks to me a man or woman standing over a sunken ship with a (white) flag in a mast. S.O.S. and Seenotdienst inscriptions. 10 - Looks to me Sch/FAR 62 badge. 11 - Stkz. PF+OA, possibly FFS A/B 4. 12 - Looks a simplified 2.(H)/Aufkl.Gr. 31 badge. I thank you very much for any help. In a few days I´ll post a "report" about the research for the book. Thanks in advance, hugs,
