What does this OOB Symbol mean?
I am guessing either Transport or Recce Gruppe, but not sure. Any help much appreciated.

All the best

Andreas

Re: What does this OOB Symbol mean?
Hi Andreas,
I appreciate your bewilderment, I cannot find the symbol either. A WAG is that it is from a Lw.Feld.Div and the symbol signifies an anti-tank unit. It is not included in the list of flying units:

not is it in the list of Heer units:

Re: What does this OOB Symbol mean?
Hi.

Agree with the conclusion that it is a Nahaufklärung unit, in my opinion it denotes the specialized Panzeraufklärungsstaffeln, at least it has in the cases I have seen it.

Regards,
Andreas B

Re: What does this OOB Symbol mean?
Herr Schnauzl - may we ask the source of the Luftwaffe OB symbols you provided? I recognize the pages and the layout but I cannot remember the name of the book they come from.
