Can anyone help me work out the history of an image on a WW2 german uniform shoulder button?
Hello everyone,
I have a photograpgh of my nans cousin and on his unifrom is a button on his shouder with an image i have been researching but i cannot find in anywhere on the net.
Its a semi-circular helmet with pointy cheeks and slitty eyes (maybe not the best description) Although it does not look like a real human face. I cannot find anything about it anywhere. what i do know is that he was an officer and had the krim sheild on his shoulder and his brother was in the SS.
Any help with this would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Jessy Ann, welcome to the forum!
I cannot think of any shoulder strap button with any kind of similar device? Usually they will be plain, or have a numerial on them.
Cheers, Ade.

have u seen the drawing i attached? it looks like that. it does seem like some kind of SS insignia tho robin. maybe theres a connection? ive been a student of archaeology for ov er 4 years and done lots of archaeological work but this is way out of my period or knowledge. Hence i have no idea lol
