Hi Joe,

That's Veterinär Ersatz Kompanie der Waffen-SS - the vets for the Waffen-SS horses.

This is the only unit listing I could find:

SS-Veterinär-Ersatz- Abteilung

Created on 1.7.1942 in Radom/Generalgouvernement. From 15.8.44 it was transferred to the Truppenübungsplatz Wandern; then on 15.2.1945 it was again moved to Ohrdruf.
