Need help with Ju-52 unit marking

[Vegard T]

I recently bought this picture, can anyone identify the unit marking?

Possibly Jagdgeschwader 53, known as "Pic As"

Hi Dave, I know where you are coming from regarding the playing card emblem and it is similar in general design, but a Fighter Squadron emblem on a Ju52?

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Vegar, any idea where this pic was taken?

Cheers, Ade.

[Vegard T]

Not a clue. I was guessing Norway(Looks like Gebirgsjäger sitting on it and the landscape is similar).

I cant find that emblem in any of my references.

This is the only other similar emblem I could see, but again a fighter unit - JG21

Ok: I wondered if it was, hence you buying it.

Here is a list of units based in Norway which you can research further:

German airforce units in Norway 1940-45

I tried the WWII day by day site for emblems and nothing there matches.

WWIIdaybyday.com

Cheers, Ade.
