Re: Kradschutzen

I know, Pirate was asking me when I was going to give in and post one. I guess it was today.

If there were more kittens then there wouldn't be any wars...

You have a point there, Urban. These guys seem more interested in the kitten than they are the grenade...

What unit wears that collar patch that the right two guys have? I flipped through my "Uniforms of the SS" book and nothing matched. It's not an SS divisional symbol. Maybe they aren't SS?

When I first saw them I went through Andrew Mollo's 6 volume set and found nothing that matches. I'm checking some of my other stuff now.

I couldn't find it either not even the arm shield. Kind of looks like the Estonian arm and dagger, but can't be sure.

Re: Kradschutzen

Looks like an arm and dagger to me and I finally found something that looks pretty close to what's in the photo. An "unofficial" patch from the 20th Division dating from October, 1943.
