Todd's two PK are: Propaganda-Kompanie 637 (duck) and 612 (squirrel). I happen to have the same press photo with elk, haven't had a chance to identify it.

Oops, shouldn't have written from memory... May be 637 but drawn differently in Schmitz/Thies... I have to remember the rule one, "when it is drawn differently, it is from different unit"...

Hello Akira et al.
Thanks for the input all fascinating stuff. I hadn't seen the sign of II Luftnachrichten Regt 203 before.
The somersaulting figure is called a Dusseldorfer, after a statue in the city apparently. So maybe this sign is from a bridging unit from there

This next version is from an unknown, to me, Luftwaffe unit...

Finally regarding the symbol on the Werner's kettenkrad; isn't it the tactical sign for a recoilless gun?

[Akira Takiguchi]

Thanks a lot, Richard! http://www.duesseldorf.de/presse/sig...um/index.shtml

And Richard is also correct about recoilless Aty... They had both versions actually!

Hello,

Does anyone know this unit symbol belongs to? It looks like crossed canons.

Cheers,
Larrister

here is a recent purchase with a strange unit emblem...

[Hans Rinsma]

Hi guys, I need your help with this emblem that was found on a wreck in Bardufoss Norway.
It was send to me by my friend "Tor-Helge" on the thread about my Mercedes-Benz LG 3000 Kfz.384 Tanker, also from Bardufoss in the War.

Question: which unit used this marking/emblem.

Maybe it was also on my tanker in the WWII in Norway, who can help?

Hans

Thanks to Tor-Helge for his photos!!

Can anyone identify this one. I am trying to link it to 18.Feld Division (Lw), but would like to know if anyone believes it to be some other unit.

Just bought this pic showing GFM v. Kluge inspecting a heavy grenade launcher unit, Russia 1943. the unit emblem seems to be taped over (see 1944 pic for comparison). a security measure during a troop build up? dont think this has to do anything with a new paint job...
richard, thanks for the hint on the kettenkrad tac sign!

and here is another recent purchase.



I would like to thank all who have posted and please do continue to keep adding to this thread! Mike

Hi all
Here are some closeups from an album I have.
I would dream this looks like Fallschirmjäger, but the guys look normal Luftwaffe. Does anyone recognise the emblem? I tried to find a match on the wwiidaybyday site but couldn't find one.
