i was originally thinking a "Pionier Battalion" an Engineer batallion but could not find anything. A couple of generations too young i guess.
Crossed Hammers, "hammer and Pick", Hammer & Schlegel are coal mining insignia.
the wehrmacht was big on finding insignia they could "claim". _________________ regards
