Heer or KM Soldaten ??

[Bernhard]

My fellow collectors ,

I am researching my grandfather´s service in the Wehrmacht.
I have his Wehrpass and also a small album.
Unfortunately most of the pics are without any captions .
He started the war in 1939 as a member of a Panzerjägerabteilung and was later transferred to the KM.

On these two pics that show my grandfather in the middle of his men , do you also think that these troops are KM ?
My reason for thinking this is the "shine "of the belt buckles and and also the cut of the overseas caps the men are wearing.

What do you guys think ??

Thanks a lot !!!

Regards

Bernhard

Agreed. Land based Km unit. I can also see peaked km shoulderboards in the pictures.

Hello, as others I agree these are KM men. Shoulders, side caps, buckles, ... and your grandfather visor badges are clearly from KM.

My fellow collectors ,

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to have a look here.
According to his Wehrpass my Opa was assigned to a unit called
"Kraftfahrabteilung Swinemünde"
There are some pics to follow that I will need your expertise.

Thanks a lot !
