    Identify this unit and arm badge?


    Recommended Posts

    Can anybody identify this unit and the arm badge? Thanks.

    Schoulder Strap appears to be Artillerie. The arm badge looks like Jäger-Sturmbataillon 3.

    Could it be a crew member of one of the 6 Infanteriegeschütze with Sturmbataillon.

    I'm sure Chip will have the answer

    Thomas,

    Does anyone else in the photo appear to be wearing a similar sleeve patch? It is unusual to see insignia on the right arm. I can't make anything out in the close-up. Could it be a flaw in the photo? There is no photographic evidence that I know of for a sleeve patch for the Jäger Rgt.Nr.3 or Sturmbataillon Nr.3. Would a closer scan of the shoulder strap of the other soldier show anything more? An Infanterie-Geschütz Batterie would have the letters "IG" or "JG" underneath the bomb, with a unit number below that.

    Chip, the more I enlarged the image, the crummier it becomes. Nobody else in the photo is wearing anything on his right sleeve. This isn't a flaw in the photo, because the design bulges out and curves right where there's a large, smooth wrinkle in the sleeve cloth. The design follows the contours of the wrinkle.
