    unknown pin

    Dear all,
    your help is appreciated .

    This pin belongs to a 57er grouping of a german soldier who served in the blue division.

    Do you know what it is?

    I already posted it in the Italian & European Axis Allies Forum but it seems to be 100% german? But what ?

    Thank you in advance!

    best regards

    IMO looks like a Falangist pin badge, the group of arrows being a Falange party symbol............which would probably correct in a grouping from a Blue Division member....but I see a Spanish member states it is not ! so probably a German badge heavilly influenced by what I have stated above............
    Prost ! Steve.

      Hi Steve,
      that was also my first thought, but Gregorio Torres wrote:

      "This isn´t related to Blue Division or to Falange (spanish fascist party). The spanish fascist badge is a yoke and 5 arrows.
      I think the design of your pin is 100% german, but I don´t know what it is."

        Looking at it from a British point of view, an armoured fist could represent an armoured division symbol. I don't know if that would be the case in Germany, though I accept it's probably of German origin.

          Thank you Reichenberg, that is possible.

          An armoured fist and arrows to the sky could also represent a flak division I think.

          Perhaps "schwere Flak-Abteilung 611"?

          But unfortunately I can't find a fitting emblem .
