Association badge

Woven association badge for the service suit
Current internal association badge of the staff / staff company
Former internal association badge of the staff / staff company

The blazon of the association badge for the uniform of the members of the 12th Panzer Brigade reads:

Gold bordered , split by a rising and curled red tip, inside two diagonally crossed silver keys ; in front in black a left-turning, red-armored and red-crowned golden lion , behind the Bavarian diamonds .

The association badge is very similar to the coat of arms of the Upper Palatinate district . The Petri key is shown as in the Regensburg city arms , the Palatinate lion as a symbol for the Palatinate and the Bavarian diamonds as in the state flag and state arms . The association badges of the division and the subordinate brigades were identical except for the shelves . In the tradition of the Prussian color sequence , the association badge of the 11th Panzer Brigade as the “third” brigade of the division has a yellow border.

Since the badges of the division's brigades differed only slightly, the internal badge of the staff or the staff company pars pro toto is used instead as the brigade's "badge". It shows a silver city ​​gate . An earlier version featured a PzBr12 monogram instead .

Remarks
