Panzers on a "Stuttgart" transport train. Havent been able to read shoulderboard yet for regiment ID. Does anyone know of a Panzer Regiment/Division that was stationed at Stuttgart for re-building/re-organizing or similar?

Also What is the blank White Armband for? I have seen this before in other panzer-related pics.

Scooped this photo only because I didnt know what the man in middle was wearing.
Is that circular thing a badge/tinnie or is it totally irrelevant??
(it makes me think of the screwback piece to an EK1 haha)

Let's not jump to any conclusions.

Stuttgart was simply this flatbed wagon's "homebase", but that does not tell us anything about the armored unit at hand, since of course the wagon did not belong to the Panzer unit's vehicle park, but was part of the Reichsbahn's rolling stock.

So, on the specific trip where the photograph was taken, the wagon might have had Stuttgart as its point of departure... or as its destination... or it might have might have travelled between two entirely different places altogether.

Also What is the blank White Armband for? I have seen this before in other panzer-related pics.

This is an identification brassard for the soldier who was temporarily appointed as the "supervisor" for this specific railway transport (or maybe just put in charge of the men and vehicles on this specific wagon). Early examples where plain white, later ones had the word "Transportführer" woven or printed in black letters on them.

He's an außerplanmäßiger Zollassistent. (Note his Army belt buckle, by the way.)
