recon photo

Here's a picture that I won and received. I can tell it's early war by the Panzer beret. It has two unit symbols on the side car, any idea which unit?

The tactical sign you described as a triangle is for an anti-tank battalion it is not for a Panzer Regiment/Division, that would be a rhomboid.

Perhaps if you look on this marvellous site you'll be able to identify more of the markings.

Slight correction.

Anti-tank battalion (mot).
See the small circles under the triangle.

Here is a good site that I have posted before but need to post again.

Click on "Germany." There is a good list of organizational symbols on the left .

I didn't feel the need to add the (mot) to the anti-tank battalion because as you say the wheels on the sign were clearly visible in the picture.

Help with these symbols on these bikes

I need some help from experience people on symbols on vehicles. I am currently writing a book on WW2 Zündapps. I dont know what these symbols are on these pictures. Can anyone help me please. These Images ARE NOT TO be publish anyone at all, period.



Look at the Fender, its a small square with an R letter to the side of it. Also just above is what looks like a star with points or a sun type image.

The sidecar has a 6-pointed star emblem on it. The only symbol that I could find that was close was the symbol for MG Btl. 10. Any ideas?

Larry,

Look at the picture i just posted, I think this is the same symbol?

[Mdunn]

Picture 1.


Picture 2.


Picture 3.


Picture 4.

What does the K mean? What about the Y?

What does the K mean? What about the Y?

No. 4 is simple:
K = Kleist
The "Y" symbol is 16. Panzer-Division (http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...ionen/16PD.htm)

The other 3 photos show organisational symbols.

I have this web site book marked already, but none of these symbols are on those pages, this is why i have asked.

They're mix and match. Each part of the symbol means something.

No. 1 = motorised infantry platoon (1st platoon)
No. 2 = not clear enough but probably same as above (different platoon)
No. 3 = HQ, motorised artillery battalion

Larry,

The star might well be the symbol of MG Btln 10 but the tactical symbol is for the RHQ of a foot infantry regiment. Note the lack of the little wheels under the rectangle, this indicates a none motorised unit, the plain rectangle means Infantry and the R indicates regiment.
