[zbv500]

Hi all,

does anybody know which unit this insignia belonged to ? The Insignia is on a SDKFZ 250 in Italy 1944

Many thanks, Jens

The 1.Fallschirmjäger- Division used a devil in their various emblems.
Not the same as yours.. but you might want to look in that direction.

Thanks for that tip Nick, I will be on the lookout.

Variation of SCHOLZE Panzergrenadier-Lehr-Rgt. 901???

This emblem looks very close to the later one used by Panzergrenadier-Rgt. 901 in Normandy (see link).

In 1943-44 the 901 was serving in northern Italy fighting partisans prior to assignment to Panzer-Lehr-Division.

zbv500, would it be possible for you to post the entire photo?

Best regards,

Hi Michael,

thanks for that interesting link. In fact I think its the same emblem and just misinterpreted on the website. In my opinion its also not a man with sword and shield but rather the devil like in my pic, could this be ?

My best, Jens

You are correct!

zbv500,
After going to my link and zooming in on the examples I agree with you that your photograph shows a clear example of this unit emblem for the 901, a devil with spear, wings and a tail and NOT a Saxon warrior!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Best regards,
Mike
