SS-Totenkopf Officer with Heer eagle above breastpocket
This is an interesting picture that I found on the net.
Take a look at the Totenkopf Officer. He's wearing a SS sleeve-eagle as you would expect but also a Heer-eagle above his rightpocket.
Can someone enlight me here of this strange anomaly. Thanks.
Found another one...
Good question , he doesn't look happy to be there either .
Maybe. Or maybe it was just another TK murderous bastard that couldn't laugh anyway.by CBH
May be at a jumping competition, they are all wearing spurs? Perhaps he just had his a$$ handed to him...
Could be. But I cannot imagine that he would put a Heer eagle on his uniform just for a juming competition....
And then there's the other picture of a TK-officer. He ain't on a jumping competition I think...
That wasn't my point, just that he looked miserable. Wearing of insignia against regulations was a common occurrence, I wouldn't try to read too much into it.
Yes, I understand. But I guess that more Officers did it because I've found 2 pictures of this practice at once...
SS personnel on temporary assignment to Wehrmacht units or -schools for training purposes added the breast eagle to their uniforms for the duration of the assignment.
The practice is seen in numerous period photographs.
