As per the title.

I am looking for the emblems for each/either of these squadrons ( 11(Hohen)JG2 and 11(Hohen)JG26 ) ,
which as far as I can ascertain , are the only 2 squadrons on the Channel Front at this time equipped
with Bf109Gs while all other Staffeln were equipping with FW190As.

It may be that these Staffeln had no emblems. That information would also be useful.

Thanks Everyone.

Hello Kopfdorfer,
If you look at this photo https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-109G/JG2/pages/Messerschmitt-Bf-109G3-11.JG2-Blue-6-Bernay-France-Apr-1943-01.html
The emblem appears to be a 'small running dog with it's tongue hanging out'. Which can be found on the JG2 main page.
I also have an emblem of a 'scared small black cat' which could also be correct.

Hi Guys,
I think I found confirmation that the unit's emblem was a dog, although the aircraft could just as well have come from another Staffel:
A Bf-109G-1 "Red 6" of 11.(Höhen)JG2, July 1942, RLM 76/75/74 camouflage:

About 11.(Höhen)JG26 unfortunately I could not find any information.

Best regards,
Piotrek

I am on the road now , with no fixed address , so I can't address this info at the moment ,
