Who Unit is this ?

Let's see if along the right tracks here.

The black triangle within a red triangle belonged to the 183 ID and later Korps Abteilung C. The leaping boar belonged to Heeres Stug Brigade 277.

The connection is that both were part of the 4 Panzer armee in the first half of 1944. So was stug brigade 277 under operational command of Korps Abteilung C?
Now would a stug brigade include a panzerjäger element as the tactical symbol would indicate and the photos of Marders and Hetzers show?

[Simon O.]

OK, i'm almost certain that it is H.Stug.Brig.277


The RKT in the first photo looks to be Oberwachtmeister Günter Chrzonsz (try saying that when you're drunk) a zugführer in 2./Stug.abt.277

I am not sure which "other forum" they are located on but possibly the Feld-grau forum, under avatars is a list showing division emblems. If no one can help you, maybe look there.

Pz Jag Abt 219

Isn't the boar the sign of Panzerjager Abteilung 219; which in 1944 was part of Korps Abteilung C? The pennant shows the tactical sign for a Panzerjager unit not that of a Sturmgeschutz unit.
