Hi !

Raúl, your pII n222 is from the 2. Leichte-Division ( Panzer-Abteilung 66 ).

And here is my all time favourite. The turret cross is unbelievable :) I guess it is from 3. Panzer-Division.

Best Regards !

IMO its from the 10. Panzer-Division ( 8. Panzer Regiment ) Brest-Litovsk area, mid-September 39.
First P2 had front turret cross totally overpainted and reduced side cross.

As the Polish campaign goes on, the German tank crews were removing / modifying the traditional white cross as a sign of recognition. Here a Pz Kw II of PR 7 with a thin white cross in front of the turret and a darker cross on the side.............
