Hello Panzer Elite !

I cannot see an EKM.
Perhaps you forgot the attachement ?!

Best regards,

and "III" "1" means Btl.III commander?

thank you Sir !
and "III" "1" means Btl.III commander?

"1" means the first EKM issued by the Vorkommando of F.A.S. III -

It could have been any member of that unit

Hello !

Very interesting EKM (now that I see it !)

I agree with everything naxos wrote.
I would still be interested, what kind of unit this is/what tasks it had (this specific Vorkommando, not the school).

I have read about "Vorkommandos" typically, when a division was transferred to a totally new location.
It would consist of some officers and a small number of soldiers send ahead, to investigate the new area, look for
locations for the HQs, possible quarters for the soldiers and how the transport and supply could be organized,
so that everything would went smoothly, when the rest of the division arrived a few days later.

Therefore, this would be a very temporary "unit" and after a week or two, everyone would return
to his regular duties he had before.

To see this unit designation on a EKM for a school (located within the Reich), is at least very surprising !

Best regards,
