      I thought the fellow standing was and is the Der Speiss, but it looks like he has something else along with the stripes as well as odd collar tabs. Any thoughts?

        I think it is a prewar insignia for Aufklärungstruppen - Aufklärungs-Abteilung 4 (mot.) Is there a photoshop stamp on the back, hopefully from Leipzig or Sonderhausen?

          Akira, you are spot on! There is a stamp from a developer in Sonderhausen.. I am unfamiluar with the name. I checked my german english dictionary and I take it it is propaganda troops? Mike

            Aufklärungsabteilung is a recce batallion equipped mainly with armored cars. I have something from A.A.4, take a look at http://www.history.jp/wehrmacht/005.htm.

            Sonderhausen is a town in Thüringen.

              Thanks for the link to your article Akira. I would say that you have it. I don't know if this would be intersting but the truck in the background has one of the flags unfurled, if that means anything..

              Does the the "der Speiss" fellow show up in you grouping? thanks again! Mike
