I must apoligise - again- my example 113 coudn't be used in any sPzAbt:s simply because they didn't have 13th Coy. I've been feverish, hope someday I can think better.

Sorry!
I shoud have remembered GD's numberig, because I once build a model of GD:s early Tigers.
The numbering 1st/13th coy=113 was really used, was it sPzAbt 502 in late 1942, early -43, I don't recall.

Hi!
"Spandau" was indeed a nickname for MG 34. It might have oriented from Luftwaffe MG 34 being Me 109 MG before Type G-6 and in bombers also.
In Finland MG 34 was always called "Spandau" and we only had them in German warplanes.
