During the Second World War, German vehicles and roadsigns were frequently marked with unit insignia. As these insignia changed during the war, it can sometimes be unclear when different insignia were used. This can sometimes lead to incorrect assumptions. The drawings and information on this page have been created using only primary sources. The insignia is presented with as much information as possible. Any estimations or assumptions used are clearly described.
Unit Insignia Timeline
November 1939 - First armored unit insignia
On 1 November, the Oberkommando des Heeres (Army high command)Look up term ordered the introduction of unit insignia of the 10 armored divisions. These were to be placed on all motor vehicles. On tanks the insignia were to be placed on the front, rear, and left side of the superstructure.1
November 1940 - Standardized insignia for armored units
On 22 November 1940, the Oberkommando des HeeresArmy high command Look up term ordered the introduction of a new set of unit insignia for all 20 armored divisions. For counterintelligence reasons this included replacing the existing insignia of the first 11 armored divisions. These new insignia were to be painted on all motor vehicles of the armored divisions as follows:2
On wheeled vehicles, the insignia was to be painted near the tactical sign on the left front mudguard, as well as the rear and the left side of the vehicle.
On tanks, the insignia was to be painted on the front, rear, and left side of the userstructure.
The insignia were to be approximately 10 by 10 centimeters in size, and were to be painted in yellow without any outline. The order was to be carried out by 31 December 1940. If a unit section or vehicle at a later time stopped being part of a division, the insignia were to be removed.
July 1941 - Replacement army usage
On 30 July 1941, an order was issued clarifying that tactical markings and unit insignia should only be used on motor vehicles that were employed by the field army. Motor vehicles that were part of the replacement army were not to have any identifying marks except for license plates.3
January 1942 - Camouflaged insignia
On 1 January 1942, an instructions was issued to make it more difficult for Allied intelligence services to identify German troop movements. It is not clear from the instruction who issued it or how widely it applied. The instructions included the following:4
…
Covering or rolling up mudflaps.
Ban on openly flying command flags, including those on staff cars.
For all horse and motor vehicles are:
Inscriptions that identify a section or unit to be covered or removed,
army and auxiliary vehicle license plates to continue to be uncovered,
tactical markings are likewise to continue uncovered,
texts and commercials on auxiliary vehicles to be removed (unscrewing the advertisement shield) or covered (boarding over with cardboard, etc.), and home front texts on tarpulins to be painted over.
Motor vehicles of the motor transport units are to be equipped with march insignia. Every motor vehicles of the motor transport company is to equipped with a sign by the mobile equipment unit that clearly shows the number of the motor transport company and the truck.
For units in transit, the unit commander, medical and veterinary officers, and motor pool personnel are to be identified with command flags, Geneva crosses, or white texts without the number of the unit.
It is forbidden to write the unit name on transport trains.
It is forbidden to use unit names for regulating the traffic of motorized units.
November 1942 - New insignia
On 22 November 1942, the Oberkommando des HeeresArmy high command Look up term issued an order to Heeresgruppearmy group Look up termMitte to change all unit insignia, and to change the insignia when units were transferred. It is not clear whether a similar order was issued to other army groups:5
Insignia of the units and army-level troops of the field army
The insignia of the units and army-level troops of the field army are now widely known by the enemy.
They must therefore be changed.
For this reason it is ordered:
1.) One-time change:
The insignia of the units and army-level troops of the field army are to be changed by 23 January 1943 in accordance with further orders from the army corps, Gruppe Chevallerie1Later XVI. Armee-Korps., and the command of the Heeresgruppearmy group Look up termMitte.
In case the combat situation does not allow this deadline to be met this must be reported to the army group.
2.) Ongoing changes:
In addition to the above change, the insignia must as a rule be changed every time a unit or army-level troops are subordinated to a new army group or independent army corps.
This change can be omitted if the new subordination only involves a new command without any changes to the area of operations of the relevant units or army-level troops.
The extent to which the insignia changes within the army group should be callied out, for example in case of troop movements before new operations, is to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
3.) Insignia design:
The Oberkommando des HeeresArmy high command Look up term foregoes a standardization of the design of the insignia, including the motorized units. The army groups will leave this up to the armies, Gruppe Chevallerie, and the command of Heeresgruppearmy group Look up termMitte.
4.) The new insignia of the divisions must be reported in a confidential overview to the army group by the armies, Gruppe Chevallerie, and the command of Heeresgruppearmy group Look up termMitte.
Following this order, Panzer-Armeeoberkommando 2 designed a set of simple geometric insignia. The list of insignia was distributed in a series of orders in December 1942, with an order to apply the insignia by 10 January. The insignia was to be painted on all motorized and horse-drawn vehicles using yellow paint by 10 January 1943. Subsequently, new units that were subordinated to Panzer-Armeeoberkommando 2 were given similar insignia. It is not clear whether other armies were similarly dilligent in following the Oberkommando des HeeresArmy high command Look up term order.
June 1943 - New unit markings
During the spring of 1943 the German Army became concerned that Soviet intelligence could use unit insignia to identify which units were present where. On 25 April Heeresgruppe Mitte sent out an order to immediately remove all unit markings, while leaving tactical markings.67
In May 1943, orders were issued to prepare to replace all unit markings of the German field army.89
The orders describe the markings as being for future operations. These units are commonly associated with the Battle of Kursk, being referred to as Kursk markings, though the markings also applied to units that did not take part in the battle.
Both armies, army corps, and divisions were issued new insignia. The insignia followed certain patterns, such as armored divisions having symbols with vertical lines and army corps having circles with parallel lines. Every unit was issued with different three insignia. These insignia were to be used in phases. Preperations were to be made to be able to change the insignia at a later time, but only examples of the first phase have been observed.
On 30 June 1943, Heeresgruppe Mitte and Heeresgruppe Süd sent out a series of orders largely rescinding the 25 April order to remove unit insignia:10
2. Armee and 9. Armee were instructed that they were free to introduce new insignia.
2. Panzer-Armee were informed that the order still applied to them.
Armeeabteilung Kempf and Auffrischungsstab Charkow were issued new insignia directly.
On 1 July 1943, orders referencing the new insignia were issued by Armeeabteilung Kempf and Generalkommando z.b.V. Raus, and likely also other units:11
Insignia of the units of the field armie
Phase A of the insignia in accordance with the referenced message applies for Zitadelle. They are to be placed on all vehicles from x - 3.2Three days before the beginning of the offensive.
Subsequently, some units reverted to their previous markings while other units introduced new ones. It is not clear when the use of the insignia was completely discontinued, with at least one example being used until the following winter.
February 1944 - Open unit insignia
On 16 February 1944, the chief of the German Army general staff issued an order to start applying unit markings to all uniforms and vehicles at the front line:12
…
4.) The markings on the vehicles consists of the sub-unit name, the tactical sign, and the unit insignia. They are to be placed permanently and visibly on the front and rear, as well as the sides (see an example in the appendix).
The size of the markings are to be decided by the individual major units3This generally referred to divisions and brigades., higher command units, and army level combat units for the different vehicle types.
The color of the sub-unit name and the tactical signs is white for major units (yellow for tank and armored infantry divisions), and green for higher command units and army level combat units. The color of the unit insignia is left to the major units, higher command units, and army level combat units.
…
Frontline units were allowed deviate from these rules if necessitated by operational or tactical reasons. It was also allowed to temporarily conceal the markings for counter-intelligence purposes.
On 15 June 1944, this order was ammended to clarify that units that were located at the home front, for example due to refitting, were to cover up the vehicle markings.
It took some time for the order to be distributed to all units. For example, 35. Infanterie-Division did not receive the order to implement the new rules from Armeeoberkommando 9 until 22 April 194413, and 79. Infanterie-Division did not issue the implementing order until 2 May 194414. Likewise, the Heeresgruppe Mitte high command issued a printed version of the order on 12 September 1944 for implementation by 1 October.15
Selection of Insignia
In addition to the above mentioned orders in 1939, 1940, and 1943 for general changes of unit insignia, single units sometimes received new insignia. One such example is the insignia of 20. Panzer-Division introduced 1 May 1943.17
Units could not unilaterally decide their own insignia, however. For example, after 27. Panzer-Division was formed, it sent a request in October 1942 to its parent corps for a specific insignia. This request was not fulfilled, and instead a different insignia was issued in November 1942.181920
For at least some units, the selection of unit insignia appears to have been used to improve unit morale. In one example, a competition was held in 23. Panzer-Division for a new division insignia, which received 526 entries. While a winner of the competition was found, the unit retained its existing insignia.21
Methodology
For each insignia, an example is shown together with a table of information. The table includes the following details:
Unit names
Many German units went through several name changes during the war. As unit insignia frequently stayed the same, all unit insignia are listed under one unit name.
Drawings
Cut-out templates were often used when painting insignia onto vehicles. This ensured both ease of application and uniformity. Variations did exist, however, whether due to the use of differences in templates or due to freehand application. Where templates or other detailed illustrations survive, the drawings have been made to match these as closely as possible. If only photographs exist, the drawings attempt to replicate these. Sometimes, only casual representations exist, in which case the style of the drawings will try to match similar, known insignia. Despite these efforts, the drawings should only be considered a reasonable approximation, not an exact replication.
The drawings are not to scale. When specific dimensions are known they are specified under Size.
Color
Unit insignia were often drawn in color. For example, tank and motorized infantry insignia were usually yellow. Because reliably determining exact colors would be almost impossible, general colors have been chosen for all the drawings, that is, one yellow, one red, etc. In some cases, more than one example is shown to illustrate variations in color or other differences.
Many sources only survive in grayscales, such as microfilm records and black-and-white photographs. If there is no explicit source for the color of the insignia, the drawing is shown in grayscale. To clearly distinguish this from insignia intended to be painted in grayscales, a hatched border is used on grayscale drawings.
Insignia were usually painted without a background color, but there were exceptions. Unless specified under color, the background colors shown in the drawings are only intended to provide contrast.
Size
In some cases, the size of the insignia was specified either explicitly or was provided as an illustration. When original orders with illustrations are available, the size of the insignia is estimated. These estimations is based on an assumption about the paper size, usually the A4 standard (297 by 210 millimeters).
In cases where only photographs of the insignia in use exist, no attempt it made to estimate the size. While the dimensions of the vehicle parts on which the insignia are painted are usually well known, the insignia are rarely the focus of the photographs. Combined with the grain of the film, odd angles, and a frequent lack of perfect focus, the result of this would be a large margin of error.
Usage
The usage specifies when and how the insignia is found in the sources. The usage can be one of three overall categories, each of which have some limitations:
Direct orders
When the way in which unit insignia was painted on vehicles changed, orders would be issued on how to implement these orders. These orders would often specify details, such as size and colors, and would also sometimes include illustrations. Colors were usually only referred to by overall name, such as yellow or red.
Direct orders show how insignia was intended to be painted on vehicles. This does not mean that the insignia was actually painted exactly as ordered for any number of reasons, such as:
The order was ambiguous or misinterpreted
The order was not carried out
The intended colors were not available
The intended size did not fit on some vehicles
The shape had to be adopted for practical implementation, such as adding small gaps in an outline to allow for a cut-out template to be created
For an example, see the insignia of XXIV. Panzer-Korps. The documented description of the insignia is that of a gray fist on a yellow field. This can be read as both a light and a dark gray, and both were used on vehicles.
Illustrations in other documents
Unit insignia can sometimes be found in various original documents. These illustrations could serve an operational purpose, such as to ensure proper identification of vehicles. They could also serve purely decorative purposes, such as to embellish the front page of unit war diaries.
While these illustrations can help establish that the insignia was used at a certain point in time, they are not reliable indication of the exact shape. The person drawing the illustration may not have had ample access to inspect orders or actual vehicles, especially when creating a collage for multiple units. This could result in relying on drawing made by others, or even verbal descriptions, adding several generations of interpretation. In addition, it is clear from some such illustrations have been either simplified to create a small illustraton, or embellished make the insignia more interesting when shown in a large scale. Finally, the artistic skill of the person creating the drawing is also a factor.
Photographs
Photographs can document how the insignia was actually painted on vehicles. Color photographs can also document which colors were used.
Unless the unit number is painted alongside the insignia, a photograph can only document that an insignia was used, not the unit that used it or when. Photographs can also only illustrate how the specific vehicles that were photographed were painted. Other vehicles might have had slightly different variants, for example if the paint job was damaged and quickly repaired. Black-and-white photgraphs can only be used to detemine shape, not color, as color can't be reliably interpreted from grayscales. Similarly, while color photographs can document the general color, there are many unknown factors that make then unreliable for determining the exact shade.
The dates under Usage only specifies as much information as is possible to determine based on the sources. For example, May 1940: Observed on upper left driver's plate only means that the photograph document actual usage during this month. It does not mean that the insignia was not used before or after. Where possible, the usage is listed chronologically.
The when specifying the left and right of a vehicle, the side is specified from the perspective of someone inside the vehicle facing forward.

On the drawing, the arms are only 50 millimeters long, while the measurements specify a length of 60 millimeters. It is also unclear whether the measurement of 50 or 60 millimeters is from the tip to the center of the star, or from the tip along the length of the arm.
