    Himmler's personal Focke-Wulf 200 Condor appears to have carried what is referred to as a 'personal emblem' in a recent magazine article.
    Best web-picture I could find is here:

    Anyone know what the Emblem represents?
    Is it just a Condor? (Or a remembrance of his old profession ;) )
    Do the Rune-stones around the edge have any symbolism/meaning? (anti-crash spell? you never know with Himmlero_O )
    And did he use the emblem elsewhere?

    Cheers,
    Adam.

    Himmler's Condor FW200 C- 4/U1 GC + AE W. Nr.0176 belonged to Fliegerstaffel des Fuher (F.d.F) and the emblem is that of the F.d.F an eagles head.

    Hitler's personal squadron they had one kitted out for Heydrich and some of the others as well. Apparently don't know if there is substance to it but Hitler preferred travelling in the old Iron Annie!!
