I always felt its make up and role, as well as its actual name itself, would more likely lead to it being called perhaps the 3d. PanzerAufklärungs Schwadron. Given that you still have them as a heavy armoured units, it makes even more sense in my point of view.

Thanks, when a former member is happy with a unit write up that's a good sign! If there are any in-jokes you want including or if you have any useful additions please let me know.

German (in fact any language) has never been a strong point of mine. I did consider using the term PanzerAufklärungs which would be technically correct, however I liked the sound of the term I used plus it gave a differentiation of it being ex-American and keeping its traditions. What do others, especially our German experts think?
