Question regarding SS division insignia/emblem

[Paul Hanson]

I think some latitude for error should be allowed on these markings. They were of short duration in an intense situation and then never used again. I think the Totenkopf and LAH mistakes are probably caused by poor memory. 11th P.D. used the inverted TTT at Kursk; and if someone mistakely remembered or identified this as the Totenkopf symbol instead of the III then it's a short step to assuming LAH used the inverted T.

not key but "lockpic". It's this thieve's tool opening every lock.

the 1st insignia belongs to the ss das reich division , its called the wolfsangel and it was supposed to protect those who worn it from wolves.
