What is this insignia on RAD uniform?

At the far left in the photo -- what is that triangle insignia on the RAD man?

The insignia is for 'Truppfuhrer', Nice photo !

Thanks, I could find no reference to the insignia. Here's the entire photo for your enjoyment. ;-) Interesting that in this mostly RAD photo there are Heer scattered about, and one Luftwaffe guy seated on the right side.

Wartime duty (Kriegsbesetzung), or perhaps flak unit ? I believe the insignia is on the wrong sleeve, probably due to the 'Deutsches Wehrmact' armband, I have a photo in my files with correct placement, when I find it I will post for you.. G

Not the pic I wanted, but for illustration purposes..

I am going to update the previous statement.. They probably are RAD-Bau-Abteilungen. These consisted of elderly men, who were not (yet) conscripted to the forces, but assigned to the RAD instead as auxiliary workers in 1939/40. The units were disbanded in 1940, and the personnel assigned to the German Army and Air Force. Many of these old boys were born before 1900, an some had seen action in WW1.

A fantastic crisp clear higher resolution photo. Excellent.

You noticed the patch but everyone seems to have missed the Bill Murray lookalike (or the beautiful Heer Crusher visor)

Thanks for sharing your photos and knowledge, Gwar. Appreciated.

Hmm, not seeing Mr. Murray in there. It's like playing "Where's Waldo?"
