Not quite sure if you are asking, but the unit is in fact the 116 "Windhund" Panzer-Division...

Are you sure? how do you know?
I can't see the "Sascha" Division marking anywhere.
And not on the caps (as capbadge) aswell.

Or am i blind?

EDIT: on the 6th row, the left picture i do see something that does look like a Windhund.
But it doesn't look like the windhund that the 116th panzer div. used.

I base my statement off of what I believe is the Windhund logo you reference - which also appears in the top right hand photo. Looks like a variation on the Windhund logo to me.........

Also, out of all the photos posted the majority (like 80%) show the men without any sort of headgear, and of the ones that do actually show pieces of headgear being worn only two or three are large enough to make out whether or not they are wearing the windhund badge........ but I'm sure every soldier in the division wore the badge on every piece of headgear they had, at all times.

Maybe I am wrong, but I believe that these pictures show I./Pz.Rgt.16 around the late spring/early summer of 1944, but since you appear to be the expert here I guess they are not "Windhund."

These are early ausf.G and as I./Pz.Rgt.16 was rebuilt as a panther abteilung in July '44 this would fit as the photos seem to show a panther unit in training\formation.

These are excellent photos, vassilkapanzer would it be possible to scan the back side if text is on them?

I'm no expert
It could be, now that i think of what you guys say.

If its realy early, it could be that they (or most soldiers) didn't received a badge yet.
Because if you are in the 116. PzDiv. you don't automaticly get the badge, you sort of need to "earn" it, prove yourself.
And if you have proven yourself there was a small ceremonie and you got the badge awarded.
They even glued a papier inside the soldbuch that said the holder was authorized to wear the windhund badge.

I've never seen the Windhund (or Sasche, as the dog is called) logo in the angle as seen on the pictures. And also never inside a shield.
But, ofcourse... never say never! It could be an early variation!

[PZIV]

Yeah that is a truly great set.

Unit emblem

Hello !

These images from German wartime newsreels.
In the 'Ost Front', probably Aug-Oct 1944.






How does it think?

I think these images in the 'Nord Front' . ...Pz.Brg.101~103??
Please advice to me.

In any case,　it is wonderful photos!!

Thanks.

[4th division]

Did you see the name "annelies" That is actually a DUTCH name!
