help with unit ID please medical unit Russia.

Hi guys.
I was very lucky to acquire a great collection of color slides from a german medical doctor based on the russian front, two weeks ago.
I just made a new scan of one of the slides and found this unit symbol.

I tried the ww2daybyday site but was not able to find a good match.
any ideas guys ?

Thanks a million.

Heavy artillery units seldom put the actual number of their unit on their vehicles next to the tactical sign for heavy artillery! So what this is, is a marking for 3rd Battery, Heavy Artillery Abteilung (Battalion) 711 (motorized), a unit formed 26 October 1939 in Wehrkreis IV (Leibzig/Chemnitz). Consisting of 3 firing Batteries and a HQ Battery, it was an Army-level asset, being employed wherever they were needed to augment division and corps artillery. It fought in Russia primarily, and during 1943-44, was engaged in southern Russia, fighting at Krivoi Rog and Kasanka. It was disbanded in February 1945.

Don't be so quick with the sarcasm.

I meant my comment as redundant. I posted the ID of the gun unit, then I realized you already knew - so I erased my post and marked it as redundant.

I'm sorry if it caused a misunderstanding.

The first one bears some resemblance to 62. Infanterie-Division:
