Panzer Battalion 35

Hi

I am looking for information on Panzer Battalion 35. I purchased a nice named Panzer waffenrock and I would like to research the unit. I had started a thread at the order of battle before I remember about the Panzer section.

Shhhhh.........

I'm not supposed to be here.

Actually, although I used to be into EK's hot and heavy, my first love was/is armor. Now that I have bailed on the medals, I'm getting back into the armor. AND, after reading some of these posts, I realise I need to brush up. A lot.

To answer your question, I have a large library, and there are many good sites out there. Just type in armor, panzer, or tank.

Juan, Here is an old style NCO tunic from the same Pz. Abt. I wonder if your guy and my guy knew each other?

thanks for sharing

Juan,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your post but I’ve been very busy at the office. Excellent Bamberger Panzer-Rgt. 35 Parade Dress tunic! Especially with the original owners nametag. This would make a very interesting research project. Hey PD Sergeant that is a super piped NCO walking out tunic you’ve got as well!

Great Stuff folks and thanks for posting!
