Association badge

Internal association badge of the staff / staff company

The blazon of the association badge for the uniform of the members of the Panzergrenadierbrigade 10 read:

Silver rimmed cleaved by an ascending and concentrated swept red top, in two obliquely crossed silver key ; in front in black a left-turning, red-armored and red-crowned golden lion , behind the Bavarian diamonds .

The association badge was very similar to the coat of arms of the Upper Palatinate district . The Petri key was 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 Panzergrenadierbrigade 10 was given a white border as the “first” brigade of the division.

Since the badges of the division's brigades differed only slightly, the internal badge of the staff or the staff company pars pro toto was used instead as the brigade's "badge". It showed a willow tree as in the coat of arms of the city of Weiden, as well as an X , which can be interpreted either as a scale symbol of the tactical symbol of a brigade , a Roman 10 or as an element from the tactical symbol of the armored infantry troop.
