Russian Panzerzug (Totenkopf Marking?)

[Tomo]

Hello,

I recently found this interesting photo of a Russian Armoured Train in the wartime album of a Wehrmacht Infantry Officer. This photo was taken in the early days of Barbarossa. My question for consideration: Is the skull and crossbones you see marked on the Armoured train a Russian unit symbol or has this train been captured by members of the 3.SS Division "Totenkopf" who have then marked there prize with their own unit/divisional symbol?

Thanks for any comments/opinions!
cheers,
Thomas

Different for sure. Reminds me of the "Death Mobile" in Animal House.

Looks German to me. Captured train.

Hi,
Many thanks for the 2 comments. Yes, this is an unusual photo in that I have not seen a similar one in my own collecting experience... for me personally I think the skull and crossbones is too similar to that of the "Totenkopf" Division divisional emblem to be one of a Russian/Red Army emblem.
Perhaps someone could tell me if the "Totenkopf" Division captured any Russian armoured trains in the first weeks of Barbarossa?
cheers,
Thomas
