XX symbol for 2nd Pz Dv?
the foto is from an album of mine, he was a Kradmelder but the unit is unclear with the exception of this foto. The Krad clearly has the XX symbol on the side of the gas tank - some sources claim this is a 2 PzDv symbol and other sources do not list it. Can anyone please give me an informed opinion? Thank!! RA

Hello RA ; AFAIK the symbol XX was the 6 Pz's symbol. See below.

Hello gents,
The XX symbol was used by both 2. and 6. PzD.
2. PzD used it from the second half of 1940 into 1941 and in 1941 it was taken over by 6. PzD. If I remember correctly there was a major reshuffle of PzD-symbols just before the start of Barbarossa.
2. PzD seems to have mostly used very "fat" X's, almost in the proportions of the Balkenkreuz tilted 45 degrees but on some pictures the symbol is very "thin" just like those seen on the vehicles of 6. PzD above.
So the unit in question of the Kradmelder...........depends when the photo was taken.
Best regards,
Paul
