I think I may have shown this before.....
a crashed Polizei Car!! note insignia on door. Love this photo! haha
I'm sure this is of little interest to most but having been in the glass business for some 45+
years I never saw tempered glass used at that time, or didn't notice.
I knew they had laminated glass and would have thought that is what would be used in a vehicle.
It breaks much easier but stays in place while the tempered as seen in the picture blows out.
That's all fine but my thoughts would be that used in the field laminated glass could be cut on site
while the tempered requires the process of going through a furnace and can never be cut.
Sorry guys ... I'll get over it.

Not at all. It requires a furnace to heat it, then it needs to be cooled and all in correct temps and times.
I'm thinking it with stood more bouncing around but once gone it was all gone.
Not that important really ... I guess we see what we do like we are what we eat.
Is there a beer smilie?
Rudy ... enjoying pictures

HPL, the RAD man to the left is at least an Arbeitsfuhrer, right?? Is there any other way to tell other than the shoulderboards if he is a higher rank?
Arbeitsführer or higher is right, yes.
The same type of collar patch was worn by the ranks of Arbeitsführer, Oberarbeitsführer and Oberstarbeitsführer. The general officer ranks of Generalarbeitsführer and higher also wore this design, but executed in gold rather than aluminum embroidery.
The exact rank can only be told by the shoulder boards. Those worn by the man in question are not quite clear enough to be 100 % certain, but they do not look like the interwoven gold/silver/gold cords as worn by general officers and appear not to have any rank pips. Hence, I would tentatively identify him as an Arbeitsführer.
(By the way: He looks a bit like Heinrich Himmler in his younger years, doesn't he?)
Oh, and note the traditions badge for Arbeitsgau VI (Mecklenburg) worn by the officer on the right.
