Tankstelle trafic sign in Donville, Manche, Normandy

Hello,

This 'Tankstelle' traffic sign was retrieved in a house in Donville-les-Bains town, West Coast of the Manche Department in Normandy, France, near the place where a gas station was used by the german army during WWII.
The traffic sign was then kindly offered to a local museum.
The crest is very nearly the same than the 6th German Infantry Division which was in Normandy in 1940 but I can't prove that is the crest of the German 6th Infantry Division because this Division seemed to be quiclky sent to Russian front and I don't have information about its passage in Normandy.
Can somebody help me to recognise the crest?
I thank you in advance.

Bruno
