Great to see a picture of your plaque John it looks nice.
Do you happen to know the history of these plaques, if they were made and presented during or after the war?
I can see that there is a stamp on the back of mine probably from the maker which reads "Gustav Becker, Schiffswappen, Wilhelmshaven".
By the way I am a big fan of your work.

Regards
Kristjan

They were made during the war and given to members of the unit. I got mine from Bordfunker Heinz Ludwig of 3./ZG 1. Not sure now whether he was with 3./SKG 210 - I think not, I believe he received it (from another member of the Staffel?) during the war.

Thank you very much for your kind comment in your last sentence - it is appreciated.

It consist of award documents and photos belonging to a pilot Fw. Ludwig Schmidhuber a member of 6./SKG 210 and later 6./ZG 1.
He flew a Bf 110 C-6, S9+SP, 2249 which was shot down on a combat mission near the village Dobraya, 25km West from Mosalsk, by the AAA battery of Lt. Nury Karievich Kuliev of 3rd Battery of 342 Artillery Regiment on 27.02.42.
Both the pilot and his bordfunker Ogefr. Robert Kissler were KIA.

Picture 3 is of Schmidhuber with his awards.
Picture 4 is of his plane
Picture 5 and 6 shows the plane as a victim of the AAA battery together with either the pilot or the bordfunker.

Hope you like it

Kristjan,
Regarding the two awards shown at the bottom of the group of five. The one on the left signed in July 1941 is signed by the Geschwaderkommodore of SKG 210, Major Walter Storp. The one on the right signed in December 1941 is signed by the Gruppenkommandeur of II./SKG 210, Haputmann Rolf Kaldrack.

Hope this is of some interest to you.

Thank you John for the information on the unit plaques and the signatures on the award documents, it is very interesting.
The document having the signature of the Geschwaderkommodore Major Walter Storp has also a great looking stamp of the unit.

Regards
Kristjan
