Welp... Time's up. That insignia was for the Panzer Lehr Division. It was one of the most elite armored formations to ever exist in any army.

Not helping, Darth. Armor wasn't a thought back then, but there was artillery - something along those lines?

You're all over it. That picture is of Henry Knox. He served in the Contentment Army as Washington's Chief of Artillery. After the war he served Washington again, this time as Secretary of War (Sec of Defense today).
As for his connection to tankers...
Ft. Knox is (or was) our home.

Ahhh.... It's one of the high numbered (110+) infantry divisions from WWII. I believe this is one of those divisions that never actually a real outfit but instead it existed on paper.

I knew the Israelis used K98's but I've never heard of them converting them over to .308.
They did.
Fine shooting rifles. They came from the same country that used them originally.
I have one!
