In Germany, there are a number of disciplines that can be rewarded with the title "Doctor".
I know a vineyard owner who wrote his doctoral thesis on vine trellising and was awarded a doctorate degree. It is probably akin to a masters or so here in USA.

Comparison of degrees ain't gonna help here. Fact is we have a Dr. of human medicine wearing Pz. piping which to me makes no sense. Unless he was a tank healer

I googled "Twardy Wehrmacht"
Twardy is a very unusual name and I got this from a website in German Iam going to have my girlfriend translate, here is an exerpt
http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...heiten17-R.htm
In der Nacht fuhren Leutnant von Bredow und Dr. Twardy mit einem Sanka vor, um vor der Infanterie-Sicherung noch nach Verwundeten zu suchen. Leutnant Steffens und 5 Mann wurden gefunden, Leutnant Steffens leider mit schweren Kopf- und Beinsch******252;ssen. Sie wurden in ein Lazarett gebracht. Um 5.00 Uhr r******252;ckte die Abteilung in Zaluskow ein. Die Gefangenen und die im dortigen Gutshaus untergebrachten Verwundeten waren einwandfrei behandelt worden. An der Parkmauer neben dem Heiligenbild wurden 33 Gefallene begraben, ein gro******223;es Holzkreuz mit gekreuzten S******228;beln in der Mitte errichtet. Ein katholischer Milit******228;rpfarrer hielt eine kurze Ansprache. Rittmeister Pilgrim sprach zur Schwadron. Die Abteilung war im Viereck angetreten. Leutnant Ackerl und Oberwachtmeister Schulz erhielten als erste das EK II.

"... Medical Officers, Veterinary Officers, and Officers (W) form independent Officer Groups; therefore, they wear the uniforms specified for their Groups also when serving in a regular position with the O.K.W., O.K.H., etc. ..."
Since O.K.W., O.K.H., etc. beats any Panzer formation I would have a hard time believing the above match of insignia.
One could speculate that the Dr., later in his carrier, decided to become a regular Pz. officer. But that's very unlikely, and still doesn't explain the presence of the caduceus on the boards.Attached Files

I would say 98% That the Dr Twardy in the Lexicon the Wehrmacht is the guy. I googled Dr Twardy with out search word Wehrmacht and I only get 4 pages and the man is a Professor Doctor here at the University of K******246;ln. I believe the latter is not our guy, he would be far to old.
Also it appears the had no Vets?

Hi
It will be worthed to try to get his military records. Was the 17 Infantry Regiment converted to panzer?. Here in the USA you could get for a fee some records at the NARA
http://www.archives.gov/
It is a gamble as they only have records of the Army soldiers that survived the war and sometimes the records are incomplete I would suggest for you to contact Robert Ruzzier at
soldat4@cox.net
I had been able to research several tunics form him including the one below

As you are in Germany, you may be able to research it yourself
regards
Juan
