you are correct!

reference number , humm,I should be more careful next time

ok your go!

BTW,

for those who are wondering, Tresckow was one of the leading members of the July 20 plot movement. He was one of the early suppoerters for removing Hitler from power. In the movie Valkarie, he was the one who put a bomb in a wine box , which was put on a plane with hitler. But the bomb didn't detonate because of the cold temperatures up in the air. After the July 20 plot failure he committed suicide on the eastern front.

If somebody else it ready, go ahead. I don't have time at the moment.

Well, I'm stumped. It's apparently not the truck that was the basis of the German 6-Rad series of armoured cars. Is it British? Or Italian?

I just don't know.

It is German, and not armored.

I've been looking at pictures of German vehicles until my eyes bleed -- I didn't know there were that many different types!

I've found a few with six wheels, but different types. Still looking ...

So far the closest matches I've found are the Kfz 63, Kfz 64 and the Bussing-NAG G31 (Kfz 77). But none seem to be an exact fit, with the front wheels larger than the rear.

Mercedes G3A or possibly G4.

Don't want anybody's eyes to start to bleed, so, this hint will give it away as to the company. They made their fame in the railroad industry, and it isn’t Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG (Hanomag).

And you don't need a model number as I have never seen one attached to the unit either.

Well, I've finally found the original picture: http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/k/krupppkw.jpg

Unfortunately, it provides only the information that it's a Krupp vehicle, 1939-40, and the letters K W are somehow related. It definitely isn't a Protze. W for Wagen?

You got it, that is a 1941 Krupp triple (three seat row) phaeton, twin axle; staff car.

The K is for Krupp and the W is for Wagen, and that is where I found the pics as well. Then looked the rest up in a book on German Automobiles I had which covered the WW2 era. You're up!

No guesses?

It's the heart of a top-secret device that was developed during the war, and was only used under very strict conditions. These conditions were relaxed for one desperate battle.

Is it some sort or part of a bomb?

Although I don't think it is, but is it part of or have anything to do with an atom bomb?


I have no idea... I am stumped!

Yes, it is part of a bomb (or shell).

No, it's not anything to do with an atom bomb.

(Hehe. This is my revenge for brndirt1's tough question. )

Is it the "guts" of a proximity fuze of American manufacture? I think RCA made them (not sure)

Tough question? Sorry 'bout that chief.

Ooo, ooo. I know this. The 45th Infantry Division of the US Army, a National Guard unit out of New Mexico and Arizona. They later became the Thunderbirds, and was the unit Bill Mauldin was in.

Thanks, Lou. Your answer was more complete, but I guess I did answer the question.

Okay, staying with insignia, which unit proudly wore this patch?
