Schützen-Regiment 21?

[gianni59]

Hello friends collectors.
For this my erkennungsmarke, is the military department "Schützen-Regiment 21" correct? (Then renamed "Panzergrenadier-Regiment 21" of the "24. Panzer Division"). I'm not sure about the presence of the word "Ausbildungs" and the abbreviation "Sch" where usually the Kompanie is located.

Well, this one is a puzzle indeed.
I have been searching for the abbreviations online and I keep getting search results for Luftwaffe units.
Look at the EKM I posted, that's what I can find. I know your EKM is not the same but it comes close.

And I don't know if it is a Schützen Ausbildungs Regiment 21, can't really find anything about that unit. There is a Schützen-Regiment 21, but in the info about it there is nothing in there that says Ausbildung.

But let us wait for other opinions.

Regards, Rik

I believe that Dschop was on the right track and this tag is for Schule/(Flieger) Ausbildungs Regiment 21 with the Flieger omitted from the inscription. Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 21

Interesting tag, the only thing I can add is the abbreviation "SCH." is either "Schutz" or "Schule"

Schutzen is Schtz. Not sure about the rest.

A very good book with abbreviations is "DEUTSCHE ERKENNUNGSMARKEN DES ZWEITEN WELTKRIEGES" Jean Hoidal.

The book by Jean Hoïdal is on the top of my list. It's not being offered a lot, but I found some for sale.

Hello.
Thanks for the answers. I also think it is as you say.
There is something like this in my collection.
