What Wehrmacht unit is this?
This Wappen is on a car belonging to a unit of the Heer arriving to Norway in June 1941 and stationed in Finnmark county from July 1941. I believe it was an artillery unit. Anybody that know which unit?

No doubt - this Adler is from the Luftwaffe. Greetings from Denmark.

Ove if he says that the emblem is on several vehicles with license WH-xxxxxx it is NOT a eagle related to the Luftwaffe. Many Heer units had eagles in their emblem.Ove Kronborg wrote:No doubt - this Adler is from the Luftwaffe. Greetings from Denmark.

But I have doubt. Take a look on this one, on a Lkw with WH-plates. The eagle is holding something that is not a zwastika. Not an obvious Luftwaffe adler, I would say.Ove Kronborg wrote:No doubt - this Adler is from the Luftwaffe. Greetings from Denmark.

Re: Adler on car
When I say Luftwaffe – this also include Faldschirmjäger regiments. I agree, that WH normally means, that this number plate is from Wehrmacht-Heer, but the wings on this eagle looks very much as a Luftwaffe eagle.Christoph Awender wrote:Ove if he says that the emblem is on several vehicles with license WH-xxxxxx it is NOT a eagle related to the Luftwaffe.
