[AlifRafikKhan]

Hi, can someone ID the emblem on this bus? The picture was taken during Balkanfeldzug 1941.

Why it looks like a black scotty dog.

Stuka Geschwader 2 used that.

Hello,
can someone help me with signs on this motorcycle? I know, that lower one is for military police, but what about the upper one and the letters „Wil“ or is it „WII“?
Thank you, Georg

it's "WH" = "Wehrmacht Heer"

That isn't the tactical sign for the Military Police, theirs was a stylised traffic wand not a diagonal line across the rectangle. To me the letters on the rear mudguard look more like Wil than WH.

Hi Alan,
according to the american wartime handbooks on german military symbols, diagonal line across the rectangle should be symbol for military police...
For example here: http://maps.mapywig.org/m/m_documents/E ... S_1944.pdf

As so often then the US Intelligence got it wrong. Have a look on this site and scroll down to Rear Echelon Units.

What is this unit?

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Yes Alan, a good reference site but you should have looked at the 1941-42 symbols too.

As for the “wil” I agree with schwarzermai, it’s a muddy and weathered WH.

What is this unit?

Seems to be the Gothic "M" of a machine gun battalion, in this case MG-Bataillon 13.

Anyone know which division this truck belongs to? My guess is that it's from Vienna, as the Ferris wheel looks like the one in the Prater.

In the meantime I "ve found the answer, the sign is of Sturmgeschütz Brigade 276:

Does anyone have a link to the emblem for Sturmartillerie brigade 280?

Does anyone recognize the emblem on this railway car? The unit might've been involved in the invasion or occupation of Norway.

This looks like a tactical sign, but I have been unable to find it in the lists published on Lexikon der Wehrmacht or Niehorster. Does anyone know what it is? It's on the left front fender of a Luftwaffe vehicle.
