The badge of I./KGr 506 comprised three black and white birds flying above a medium blue sea on a pale blue shield. Kampfgruppe 506 was formed from the coastal reconnaissance unit Kiistenfliegergruppe 506 on 19 October 1941 although it had exchanged its He 115 floatplanes for Ju 88s at Perle berg in March. Its first Kommandeur was Obstlt. Walter Schwarz
Photo 01: These Junkers Ju 88A's of 3./KG506 coded (S4+AL) 1941 were probably finished in RLM 70/71/65 camouflage used by the majority of the bomber versions of the type. (S4+AL) is probably the Staffelkapitän's machine with the 'A' out lined in yellow, the Staffel color. The nearest aircraft has a white propeller spinners indicating it's from I Gruppe.
Profile 00: 8./KG26 Ju 88 of II /KG26 (former 3./KGr 506), Kalamaki (Greece) 1942 and Grosseto (Italy) 1943. The KGr 506 was assigned to KG 26 in June 1942 for anti shipping duty as Torpedo Bomber.
