What kind of insignia did polish armored units in the Red Army have? There is a great photo of an Su-85 from the Polish 13th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment. It looks to be about late '44, and is missing a road wheel, possibly mine damage, since it's also missing the spare tracks on the front hull. I can't figure out the photo posting section here, but it's on the wikipedia page if you want to take a look.

What kind of insignia would a polish unit in the red army have?
Would they have slogans on the side? The photo is extremely difficult to decipher.

Start here: http://wio.ru/tank/oz/1pt-en.htm

There are several pages featuring Polish tank markings.

Thanks for the photo, what parts of the suspension do you think would still be there? the swing arm? I should I cut out everything. I guess it's artistic discretion, as the photo doesn't give a clear view.
