The emblem was designed by Victor Mölders, brother of Werner, and first used by 1. Staffel, Zerstörergeschwader1 in the Spring of 1940. When some crews of 1./ZG 1 moved to NJG 1 upon formation at the end of June 1940, they took their standard Bf 110 Cs with them, and the emblem on them became the night fighter force emblem. Victor Mölders was one of the pilots who was mived to the new night fighter unit, and so he lobbied his brother to get him transferred to his unit. He got his wish, and was transferred to 2. Staffel, Jagdgeschwader 51. As Staffelkapitän of 2./JG 51 Victor was shot down into captivity on 7th October 1940. In the mid-1980s Peter Cornwell and myself were able to meet him at his home in Germany and obtain much information from him on his time with ZG 1.
