Naval infantry insignia
Can someone explain WW2 soviet naval infantry insignia please? I`ve noticed in various photo that some wear a (gold?) and red star on the arm but some don`t. Is this a mark of rank? Post war naval infantry wear a rope and anchor patch on the left arm where the specialist badge would be, was this ever used during WW2?

Re: Naval infantry insignia
The first picture is just a Radio operator in rank of Starshina Vtoroi Stat'yi(sergeant 2second class ) , most part of the navy lost their ships and take a part in newely established Naval infantry units. Even a non Naval -infantry the Red Fleet men is the real combatant who mostly fought until their dead. The very interesting ( for me) example is Saaremaa in Hiiumaa islands and the Tallinn area ( Estonia) they was fought untill they was totally destroyed in 1941 year. But most part of infantry etc come to the German side as POWs
I don't speak about the Sevastopol and Maxim Gorky battery

As I know, Soviet Navy infantry have no special insignia during WW2.

It seems to me that the two men on the left are wearing Army type mundir with the Naval Infantry sleeve insignia?
And people on other photo are wearing Navy uniforms? People often confusing naval rifle brigades with naval infantry.
