Green Schuma Boards w Light Green Swastika-TOP
Green Schuma Boards w Light Green Swastika, I knew existed from a prior posting, and was happy to snag them.
But the DARK GREEN sleeve patch is a new one to me. I have seen the lighter green (Lime Green) Schuma patch, but Not a Dark Green SCHUPO colored patch. Has anyone seen this one before?
Why would the Schuma use Light Green and also Dark Green?
(But, then again,
they used a Green Piped Shoulder Boards with WHITE Thread Swastika, and
they used a Green Piped Shoulder Boards with GREEN Thread Swastika
So, there must be a 'logical' reason for the 2 Green colors.

Dark Green Schuma Sleeve Patch
This patch is a beauty - and it really is a Medium to Dark Green -
NOT the Lime Green, which I have seen previously (and as is shown in a prior Post)! Dave/dblmed
Middle Green & Lime Green Schuma Patches
I just got in 2 Lime Green Schuma Patches (after a loooong search for one!)
When I compared them to the Middle Green Schuma patch shown previously, I was struck by some notable differences!
The Middle Green Schuma patch is
• Definitely Smaller than the 'standard' size Lime Green (& Orange & others)
• Is Round, where the others are the 'standard' Oval shape
It came out of a long term Schuma collection, so that is a bit of comfort;
The construction is identical - material & stitching - also comforting;
I haven't seen another like it (although other Collectors may have)
In hand inspection, it looks right and feels right...
But, I don't know it's purpose in the Schuma scheme of things?
We do see the 2 variations of Green Schuma Shoulder Boards - so, perhaps this may account for the Middle Green Schuma patch?

SCHUMA Link:
Page Has Moved - Simon Wiesenthal Center Multimedia Learning Center Should take you directly to Schuma, or you can check the Index.
This has more documented CONCRETE Schuma information, than I've found elsewhere.
It makes for a really Great Read, fully documented - for those of us who are interested in the Schuma! ... Dave/dblmed

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum my friend! Nice to see you here.
Thanks for a super thread.
Did I ever mention that British SOE made fake Schuma sleeve insignia in WW2? There is an example on display in the Imperial War Museum, London.
Also have you seen that there are a few Schuma pics online via the new Wikimedia/Bundesarchive site?
Cheers, Ade.
Thanks Ade,
It is nice to be in a Forum in such Great company!
No, I didn't know about the British pseudo-Schuma! Smart move!
I'll check Wiki as good Schuma information (especially Photos) is hard to come by.
Many Thanks.... Dave/dblmed
