kyhistorian01 Posted July 6, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2019 I picked this up for a $1 at a flea market. Does anyone have an idea as to what unit the DI is for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted July 10, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 10, 2019 Wow thought this would be a piece of cake. Clearly it's for a TC unit, designator 8, but getting no hits for a TC unit with a 8, that's neither a 8th Trans Grp, a 8th Trans Bn, or a 8th Trans Co in USAEUER.

patches Posted December 7, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2019 Found a 8th Trans Bn in Germany, curious though, this 8th Trans Bn was an aviation unit, the insignia with the 8 on the ashtray is more indicative of a Railway unit. https://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?https&&&www.usarmygermany.com/Units/Army%20Aviation/USAREUR_8thTransBn.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec6-spencer Posted December 8, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 8, 2019 It is the 8th Transportation Traffic Regulation Group, part of the USAREUR Transportation Center Rheinau. Rheinau was part of the Heidelberg Military Post. The 8th TTRG has been deactivated in Dezember '63. https://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?https&&&www.usarmygermany.com/Units/Transportation/USAREUR_Rheinau%20Railway%20Maint.htm Click for additional photos of the 8th group under the year 1954.

Fantastic job. Here's the unit again, strange these pages didn't come up back in July when I researched this site, maybe they were added recently. https://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?https&&&www.usarmygermany.com/Units/Army%20Aviation/USAREUR_8thTransGp.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
