Seeking info/photos of Stab./KG26 He111H, probably 1H+AA, flown by Gesch Kde Oberst Robert Fuchs around time he won the RK 6.4.40

Hello,

For an EoE aircraft color profile, I'm looking for photo resources and other information on the He111H of Oberst Robert Fuchs, the Gesch Kde of KG26, particularly at the time he won the RK on 6.4.40. I'm specifically attempting to document the markings and insignia of his a/c at that time, but also any other a/c he might have flown during 1939-40. He was Gesch Kde from Sept., 1939 through June, 1940, and was later acting Gesch Kde until 11.40.

I know that his a/c would have carried the KG26 Lion shield, and presumably the code 1H+AA, but I need photos of these to make sure that I have them done properly. For example, one example appears to show the unit motto on the Lion shield in a color other than black. Was it in blue? What was the style and coloring of the code letters 1H+AA & what color was the prop spinners on his a/c? Theoretically the code should have been black with a solid blue first "A," but examples for the Gruppenstab of both I and II./KG26 during this period had non-standard code letter colors and styles. Was this also the case with his a/c? Who can help?

Regards,
