German Unit Emblems Question !
I have a question! It has been bothering me for some time now and I've paged through enough reference materials to make my eyes blurry(not a hard thing to do these days...).
We have all seen photos of German vehicles and mobile weapons, etc with emblems stenciled onto them but for the life of me, I can Not recall what unit used the Key Hole? Does Anyone have an idea who did?

No one has any info? With all the researchers in this group??

Can't think of a keyhole symbol off the top of my head but LAH used a diagonal skteleton key and 12th HJ used the same on a single sigue rune, sorry if that's too much like stating the obvious. Thinking laterally maybe the odal rune used by 7th SS Mountain Div Prinz Eugen could look a bit like a keyhole.by Wagriff
Any other suggestions, I'm sure the answer is obvious?

William,
I have a book at home that shows many of the divisional markings. I'll take a look when I get home.

What's frustrating, is I know that I've Seen photos of this symbol-usually in a yellowy color or sometimes white stenciled on vehicles before. Does it refer to a Division, a Regiment, Battalion? Or is it something totally different altogether and refers to a unit's Function, perhaps? For the life of me, I can Not find a single photo showing it at the moment! (Isn't that always the way it is? lol)

282nd Inf Div?
Very close, Rene! The one I'm thinking of has a smaller but fuller round top instead of the flat underside to it. But, I'm wondering if, perhaps, the smaller units might have had slightly different emblems from the Divisional.

Closest I could find, I only have reference for the Russian front!
This one's a little frustrating as the image is too blurred to read the symbol's meaning, but IF it's the right one perhaps others can dig deeper?
