    unknown insignia found in atlantikwall bunker

    here is a strange small insignia, unknown from me




    I found it in a bunker of the atlantikwall (south west of France - festung gironde and especially in a LW command post bunker).
    It is made of metal, probably brass.
    This Festung felt in allied hand at the very end of the war (april 45)
    all branches of wehrmacht were mixed at this time in that festung (heer, Lw and KM).
    I found also a lot of buttons, different sizes and type for german clothes and cap in the same place.

    could it be an unofficial unit or ship insignia as those you can sometime see on german caps ?
    in this case do you know which ?

    the size is roughly 3 cm x 1.5 cm

    thanks for your help
    best regards
    daco

    I believe it to be the front grill off of a 1930's radio.

          Based on its small size it doesn't seem likely it would be from a radio to me. The number of attaching points makes it unlikely to be a cap insignia by itself, but I could imagine it being part of an insignia, perhaps an Eastern People's type fancier cap emblem.

            I was told one time that AA could be the letters of a trade mark
            that means that this insigna could have been fixed on something manufacturated...but what
