Are you sure that it is a heavy Abt. ? I know only about a JPz Abt. 741 with Hetzer at the end of WWII.

the Heeres Gruppe B Kriegstagebuch mentioned Sch.... = schwere but it seems that this is not correct as I have found a photo of a tank of the unit and it is indeed a Hetzer..... Does some one have any other information about this unit: where was it formed and a bit of unit history would be welcome...
