Do.17 of II/KG2

[Johnnie]

I have a photograph of a crashed Do.17 that I am told belongs to II/KG2. I have also been told that it may be from Staffel 4,5 or 6, however the chap who looked at the image could not identify the artwork on the aircraft nose.
If required I can email a copy of the image to people who may be able to help.
It seems to have been taken in the UK, and has 2 men in uniform holding up a dead rabbit infront of the aircraft.
Any information would be great.
Thank you,
Jonathan Shipley

This is the hitherto little-publicised emblem of Stabstaffel KG2 the characteristic nose-band of KG2 also being evident in the photograph. The device was carried on both sides of the nose. The actual aircraft concerned was the U5+EA down at Wickham Brook on 23.8.1940 - Oberlt. Heinrich HELLMERS and his crew all being captured.
