Taken in Athens of an unknown car, does anyone recognise this set of markings?
Many thanks,
Kerry.

I would think a variation of the staff car flag, but I have not seen it before.

The filled flag is for battalion HQ and the symbol next to it is from the 2nd Panzer Division. Not sure about the arrow. :?

Hi Kerry:

Your Athens convertible is either a 1938 Ford Deluxe or a 1939 Ford Standard. Almost impossible to tell the year from the rear.

Luftflotte and Bill,
Thanks once again,and, interestingly, the same cropped photo contained this which, Bill, I believe is also a Ford. Nice camo job too,
Kerry.

Hi Kerry:

Your last Ford convertible is a 1936 model which you can tell by the pressed steel wheels. The 1935 was visually very similar but still had wire wheels.

Hi Kerry,

The characters are clearly part; 2. Pz.Division
and a battalion HQ. The "arrow" is not now known.
My feeling tells me that it to the Reconnaissance Battalion 5
belongs.

They are newly acquired vehicles. Would the camouflage be British? The period would be autumn 1941.

Nebelwerfer symbol (to the right of battalion symbol) = Think Mercedes star without the circle.

However, upon closer examination, augustdieter is correct. And, anyway, the three-point star should part of and at the bottom of the battalion staff, not next to it. My mistake.

Leo, is that not the 2 PD sign, an upside down Y with a I to its right ?
