Does anyone know what unit this 21stcenturytoys tank is from?
It looks like the 12SS Hitleryouth division, but they did not deploy Marders , or at least in the Normandy campaign.

thanks

is that on the marder?

That's close but not quite. Of course, the marking may be poorly done.

Is it a key in a shield with a oak leaves under it?

They're kind of small but I guess they could be oak leaves - they form a vee under the shield's bottom and they themselves look a bit like vees all lined up together in a chain.

your are correct
it is sporting the crest for the
12th SS Panzer Division
"Hitlerjugend"

If that is it, then it's 1.SS Panzer Division Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler
