Hi All,

I'm looking at the 101st Schwere SS Panzer Abteilung's Tiger I tanks from the fighting in Normandy (June-July 1944) in order to decide on an upcoming build, and was wondering if anyone is able to tell me:

-Did all of the companies (1,2 and 3) carry the rhombus marking? If so, was there any 'rule' as to where it was found? I've so far seen some tanks from this Abteilung with the rhombus and some without.

- Did all of the companies carry the LSSAH crossed keys logo? If so, was it always on a Zimmerit-free area of the tank or did they sometimes paint it over the Zimm?

- Lastly, did 3./ S. SS.Pz.Abt 101 use blue numbers bordered with yellow during June 1944?

Thanks so much!
