Thomas W Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Is this the sleeve badge of a Flugabwehr-Maschinengewehr-Abteilung? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) I don't believe so. At least I have never seen it in that context. It looks like one of the sleeve unit designations from the 208.I.D., the so-called "Querstrich Division". They used various combinations of stripes and "X" to indicate the unit within the division. These were worn on the lower left sleeve. Chip Edited December 5, 2010 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immer ein waagerechter Balken, und darüber die Symbole für die verschiedenen Einheiten." (208. Inf.-Div.: IR25, IR185, RIR65, FAR 267) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
