      Camouflage Paint Job and All.   U.S. M3 T48 GMC, equipped with the M1  57 mm antitank gun, it fell into German hands in 1944, the 72nd Infantry Division (See Yellow Cross Divisional Symbol).   Other Markings Gr.R.105 is for Grenadier Regiment 105, 14 Company, the regimental anti tank company and the Capital K is for the 1st Panzer Army, K being the original symbol when this Army was Panzer Group Kleist, with this K retained after it was retiled.   This vehicle is from April 1945 in Czechoslovakia. The Soviets renamed this one, as the SU 57.

      Ok thanks that makes sense, with this I also got two other similar images both have just names on the back. Found them while flipping thru a random military postcard bin at a antique show.

      Hello, I picked up this 1943 dated Christmas plate the other day and thought I would share just in time for Christmas.  I think this is a neat item.  Merry Christmas!  Cheers!

      You may want to invest in the book:  "The Helmet Decals of the Third Reich" by Ken Niewiarowicz, and co-author Anders Lehrman   A worthwhile book to have for anyone who collects Third Reich helmets.    Leigh

      Hey there, long time collector and member of other forums, only happened across this accidently whilst researching German WW2 flak uniforms. Ex HM forces. Thanks for allowing me to join. 
    • Danny J
      Ah fantastic to come across this right now as I am inning and staring over this one.  is this in fact a British made 1943 version or a Canadian version because of the mesh type material on the back? and am I right in thinking that the British made ones are just flat embroided onto blue/ black wool? With no distinct backing.    Thankyou for any help, oh and merry Christmas🎅
    • Danny J
      Ok so I did purchase the patch above and it is a www2 British made printed (common for 43-44) Pegasus patch.  very happy to have this in my collection😁😁
