    Just a quick tutorial on how to identify a Reichsarbeitsdienst Dienststellenabzeichen / Sleeve
    shield. This is the exception being that it is the only Gau without a designation other
    than "W". Keep in mind there are other variables as well including "a" and "b" after
    certain Gau numbers. When you see the top Arabic numerals this indicates the Gruppe
    within the Gau. Example 5/270, 270's first two digits are 27, 27 in Roman Numerals is
    XXVII, So Gau XXVII, Grupp 270, unit 5 ( Gau XXVII 5/270 ).
    Locations of individual places the Arbeitslager were and honor names are just a few
    more pieces of the puzzle.. The photo did not upload as I had Chose them, so I deleted some photos and will add more at a later time.. G

    In part yes and no, I had created another version of this for the Arbeitsdienst
    group I am a Admin of and it seemed fitting to add it here after I was reminded how simple photos
    and a brief tutorial can help others.. G

    If there is no unit number, does that mean that the person was a leader at the group level?

    Hello ! It means that he was a member of Gruppe 288 - Mellrichstadt (1939, 1939, 1943)
    the number below would indicate Abt., for instance, 1/288 would be Gruppe 288, Abteilung 1
    1/288 Fladungen I / Fladungen III
    2/288 Fladungen II / Oberelsbach
    K2/288 Dottenheim / Nürnberg-Dutzendteich (DAF-Lager)
    3/288 Weisbach (Rhön) / Ebermannstadt / Fladungen III
    K3/288 Flandungen
    4/288 Hausen
    1/289 Fladungen I / Fladungen III
    2/289 Fladungen II / Oberelsbach
    K2/289 Dottenheim / Nürnberg-Dutzendteich (DAF-Lager)
    3/289 Weisbach (Rhön) / Ebermannstadt / Fladungen III
    K3/289 Flandungen

    Then Gruppe 288, Unless it is a Silver spade then he would be commissioned staff, white spade non commissioned..
