Information on Wiking Panzer Units

[areilley]

Hi , does any one know is there was a machine gun company in either in SS Panzer Regiment "5" or in the SS Pz. Jgr. Abt. "5"?

[Mark C. Yerger]

1) Yes I know
2) No there was not

[Simon O.]

MG companies were part of infantry battalions or regiments. Outside of that you could find MG platoons within heavy companies, for example recon (aufklärungs) units.

Can i ask why you ask?

Wiking Panzer Units

Thank you Mark and Simon. The reason that I am asking is that I am trying to figure out a unit for these shoulder boards with pink waffenfarbe and "GOTHIC M" cyphers.
The "M" cyphers are usually for machine gun companies.
It does not make sense but I thought that I read something recently that said that the Wiking panzer maintenance companies wore an "M" Is there something else that I am not considering?
