Hi Sven,

I think it's a Geschwaderabzeichen !?

Hi Sven,

I think it's a Geschwaderabzeichen !?

Yes it is but I can not remember which one....if I remember correctly it was a Schlachtgeschwader....which would go with his Bomber clasp!

It was Schlachtgeschwader 2 (Sch.G 2)..pre 1943!

Not to be mistaken for Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 "Immelmann" (St.G. 2) which was renamed Schlachtgeschwader 2 (S.G. 2 "Immelmann") 18.10.43...

Schlachtgeschwader 2 (Sch.G 2) was renamed S.G. 4, 9 and 10 on 18.10.43.

Thank you guys for your interesting anwsers!
The pic is from a album i bought from a fellow collector.
There are quite a lot of plane pics in the album, Hs129, Hs123, Me109, Bf108 "Taifun" and other planes.

I found those two unit signs on the pictures:

By the way: did you notice that he is wearing the fighter clasp upside down?
