    LW Unit Emblem Shield of Legion Condor Veteran

    Hi
    Have come across some items and photo album of a Luftwaffe driver, who had beena member of the Legion Condor. Does anyone recognise the unit marking on the silver ring? It also appears on the mudguard of the truck on the Eastern Front.
    Thanks and regards
    John

      Hello John,

      this is an emblem Kampfgeschwader-2 'Holzhammer'. Very nice ring
      It looks like the photo on his finger is this ring.

      Best regards,
      Sergey

        Hi Van
        Yes, bought 3 photo albums of his service, including his time in the Legion Condor.

                Hi
                Great images and thanks very much for the replies. I had found a hammer emblem, but without the background colours.
                Kind regards
                John

                  He must have been a big man. Size of the ring is huge: Z+8, 15 3/4, 38, 78, in different measurements.

                    Why doesn't the emblem have a light blue background on the shield? When you look KG2 up, it doesn't have the slanted tricolor.

                      I can assume that the tricolor on the shield is the Stab/KG2. Each group KG2 also had its own emblem.
                      And the photo shows the Stab/KG 2 'Holzhammer' bus.

                      Best regards,
                      Sergey
