Help with tactical insignia
Dear everyone,
Please remind me what does this insignia mean. I used it so often when I was a modeler, but now I can't remember what it meant!

Thanks in advance,
Ivan

No, that is the 3rd Battery, the number of guns in the battery would appear on the left of the symbol , not the right as here.

Thank you for the correction!
Re: Help with tactical insignia
Cheers, Alan, I did know the number refers to a company/battery, I only forgot about the main symbol

Re: Help with tactical insignia
That looks like a horse drawn supply/baggage unit to me, I can't say what the eight means.

Perhaps helpful: it's from an Opel Blitz truck.

Haha! It's some unknown SS unit, April 1941 (Gestapo or PK most likely).

Another one, please: a motorcycle unit of a panzer division, 1941 (2nd Platoon...?)

Hi,
It looks like the second sign above (box with crossed diagonals and 8) is maybe upside down, and therefore would be an 8th (part motorised) supply company.

Re: Help with tactical insignia
Thank you for the reply, Leonard Paul, but the marking is not upside down

Re: Help with tactical insignia
The same marking also appears here, for the Aufkl.Abt. SS-Div. "Reich" viewtopic.php?p=452006#p452006Ivan Ž. wrote:Another one, please: a motorcycle unit of a panzer division, 1941 (2nd Platoon...?)
So: there's a diagonally halved square with wheels below and a flag on top, a "2" on the right side and an "A" inside the square.
I believe that "my marking" also belongs to an Aufkl.Abt., but I'm searching for a precise identification.
Any ideas now?
Ivan
