My understanding is that Panzer Kompanie Hummel joined Pz.Abt 506 prior to the Ardennes offensive as its 4th company.

I also believe that their number system was a 3 digit system with a 4(for 4th coy) and then 01, 02, 03, etc for the tank number...instead of the 1 or 2 digit system used by the rest of the 506 companies....plz correct me if I am wrong about this.

My question is...what colour were the turret numbers for the Tiger Is serving in the 4th (Hummel) company?

Also, did the 4th company have the battalion insignia (the big W) on the rear of the turret like the rest of the companies and if so what colour would it have been?

Thanks for any info.

Bart
