Published Erkennungsmarke 1/Pz. Abt. 65

Published Erkennungsmarke 1/Pz. Abt. 65 indicating 1 Kompanie Panzer Abteilung 65. This unit was subordinated to the 1. Leichte Division during the Polish campaign, later to be renamed to the 6. Panzerdivision and added to Panzer Regiment 11. It took part in the French campaign and was moved to the eastern front. A very nice original Panzer Erkennungsmarke!

The Erkennungsmarke is featured on page 84 of the reference book Deutsche Erkennungsmarken by Jean Höidal. The number of the back corresponds with the number in the book.
