Pastor John Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Everyone - I don't seem to be able to leave a post or a message to Peter any more on the LEMB site? Maybe you get locked out if you do not use enough or something? Anyway I am trying to research a marking and getting nowhere fast. Its the badge seen below the cockpit on Ofw. kielig's Ju 88 G-1 Wk.N. 710865 of the Nachjagdstaffen Norwegen and was left in Norway at the end of the war. As you know badges on G-1s or G-6s are rare indeed with only this one and the badge on D9+PH known to me. It does not match any other badge in my book of unit badges and if it is a personnel emblem then i fear without a clearer picture then I will have to forget it. Message me if you can help - thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouter Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 That's a difficult one John. I did a little photoshop on the emblem, skewing and perspective and then some contrast. I could get this out of it: Not much, but in the right corner, you'll see a figure. I recon it is either a standing lion, griffon or maybe a squirrel. The background on the top of the shield is clearly darker then the lower part. The black object could be anything, but most likely a bomb or a plane. I added some colour to highlight the different parts. If you have a better scan or higher resolution from of the original I could probably get more out of it.

mattlow Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 John It could be worth seeing if you can find out the home town/city of the pilot and search for its coat of arms. Badges can often be based on their home towns heraldry. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor John Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes guys done all that and drawn a blank - still worth a try, best bet would be if the original photo was in some Norwegen photo archive dept Best wishes john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
