looking for information to solve a puzzle??
im looking to find information into the 1st pz. div. A.A.5 does this mean anything?? I figured the A.A. was aufklarugs abtielung??( a motorized artilery reconnaissance unit) .. I have seen pictures with them on motrcycles and half tracks towing howitzer canons.. and in the snowy fields of Russia. with the howitzers. but when I type in the A/A/5 I don't get a hole lot of info on searching internet..in pictures he had second class iron cross. Russian front medal and general assaultbadge and black wound badge then upgraded to a silver wound badge after he lost his eye when there tank hit a mine. I saw the L.A.H emblem on the shoulder patch in picture.. and double v on left arm.. with 4 white stripes on his colar tab..and the adoph hitler arm band.. im just trying to decipher what this information meant..anyone a expert with some insight?? thx

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
