Torben,
I still stand by my comment about the Panzer troops in the photo being from Regiment "General Goring", because that unit had an armoured car (reconnaisance) platoon as early as 1938, & it took part in the Polish campaign which is where I believe that photo was taken.
"General Goring" was expanded to a brigade in 1941 for the invasion of Russia & to divisional strength in 1942, when it was deployed in Tunisia & changed its title to "Hermann Goring". Any of the histories of the Goring units will reveal the existence of the armoured recce platoon in the 1930s. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Chris |
