20th Panzerjager

[W.Unland]

Can anyone provide info re: the Army 20th Panzerjager regiment?
I recently purchased a tunic from same, circa 1940, and can find no specific info on that unit.

Thanks,
William Unland (aka ANRANDO)

Dear sir,
Thank you for the most prompt reply. Perhaps off topic, but would a panzerjager battalion of an infantry division wear pink or white waffenfarbe? The uniform I have has pink, so I suppose THAT is the answer

Thanks again,

Bill,

There is useful overview of the Wehrmacht in German with information on 20. ID (and Panzerabwehr-Abt. 20) at http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...nen/20ID-R.htm and 20. PGD at http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...onen/20PGD.htm

The information seems to have been culled from Tessin and ought to be fairly reliable.

The second link also includes the navigation frame for the rest of the site.
