    Unknown unit marking @Bulgaria @1941??

    Can anybody help? I bought @200 odd photos mostly of a group of Wehrmahct rankers in Bulgaria @1941-1942. Can anybody help me id the unit? This is the only clue I have.
    With great gratitude:

    See a motorized medic (triangle), but better scan is necessary to see the Truppenkennzeichen, looks like there's one to the right.

      Thanks Akira:
      the back of the photo says "Stabsartzt Reinke" , so i guess dr. reinke traveled in style:
      sorry, I just can't get it any clearer.

        Thank you for the larger scan, but to me it is too blurry and can't say anything for sure... Might be a Y with dot(s) (both 8.Pz and 9.Pz was in Balkan). The lower white blob may be showing "Abs(tand 50m)".

        It is interesting to see this vehicle being almost completely yellow from either heavy dust or paint, leaving gray only around the marking...

        If you can give us as many place names and/or dates (from the photo or backside writing) as possible, hopefully a better guess could be made. Also, names of high-ranking officers, if any, is always a help.

              ah! Thank you.
              Perchance do you have an open copy of tessian in front of you and can tell me where the 8th Panzer Div. was @1941-43?
              Thanks again.
