    Messerschmitt Unit Emblem and Translation help

    Hello Collector Friends

    Found this nice postcard Photo of a Bf-109 on a Fleamarket today.

    Can anyone identify the Unit Symbol for me please?

    I also would need help with the Writing on the back. I can read german but Im struggeling with Suetterlin Letters

    TIA
    Andreas

          Nice photo...

          The ship is a Bf 109G, probably a G-6. The unit emblem is that of JG 77. The marking forward of the fuselage cross (partially obscured by the wingtip) indicates that this is the mount of the Geschwader Major Beim Stab... the Staff Major.

          Here's what that marking looks like...




          EDIT: Perhaps this is a G-6 Trop, as I believe the two sets of four holes aft of the unit emblem are mounting points for the forward part of the tropical filter, which is not installed.

              The German text:

              Beim Laufenlassen einer Me109. Man denkt fast der Flugzeugführer säße selbst am Knüppel.

              Kroatien 1944


              During the motor start of a Me109.
              One thinks the pilot himself would be sitting close to the control column.
