Post your unknown unit and or tactical emblem photos

[Rich Payne]

This is a recent eBay acquisition (so recent that it hasn't arrived yet).

The motorycle is a captured British Norton (fairly recently captured, I'd think as it hasn't been adapted beyond the insignia and headlamp mask).

Most probably a BEF machine.



I'm very weak on Wehrmacht insignia but have seen the 'K' (for Kleist ?) fairly often in 1940 photographs from France.

The marking on the front mudguard is beyond my resources. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? It looks to be a diagonal cross in an outer circle which is divided into quarters. Higher res. will have to wait until I have the image here.

Rich, That appears to me to be the tactical symbol for a Motorcycle Company, there should be a "T" on the right top quatrter continuing on fron the diagonal line and outside of the circle.

Thanks very much Alan. I'll show more detail when it arrives but post from Germany always seems to be on the slow side.

That isn't a tactical sign, it is a unit sign and if no one knows what the unit is , and I for one don't, then they can't answer you, sorry.

This is the best that my scanner can manage.



The gaps on the centre cross seem to go beyond what I would expect in order to keep a stencil useable. Is this a standard form of application ?

Are there any clues in the uniform insignia as to which unit this may have been ?

Thanks for any help.

Erprobungsgruppe 210=>Schnell-Kampf-Geschwader 210

This is the unit emblem from Messerschmitt Bf 110 D-0/B, S9+CK, W. Nr.3341, crewed by Pilot Oblt. Afred Habisch and Bordfunker Uffz. Ernst Elfner of 2. Staffel, Erprobungsgruppe 210. It was shot down following the raid on Croydon on 15th August 1940. That photo originated from myself, and is a still from a film taken by Vultee Aircraft Corporation, who received the aircraft for examination in the Spring of 1941.

Hi Guys

Thank you

Kurzer, The first pic is of a Belgian T15 light tank, these were used by eight different Belgian units , 1e and 2e Divisions des Chasseurs Ardennais. 1 er Guides, 1er, 2e and 3e Lanciers, 1er and 2e Chasseurs. Of those the 1er Lanciers used a Death's Head insignia and 2e Chasseurs used a Raging Bull. Sadly I don't know who used the nice Tiger in your pic.
The French Spade to indicate the 1st Secy=tion of a Company, in blue for the 1st battalin of a regiment and in red for the 2nd battalion. The card symbol could appear inside a Circle for 1st Company, a Square for 2nd and a Triangle for 3rd but not always as we see from your pic.
