Product Overview
Used by the Heer, SS and Luft, this pattern of rank insignia was meant for camofauge uniforms.
On August 22ND 1942 the German army introduced a new system of camouflage sleeve rank insignia for wear by all NCO’s and Officers on clothing that normally wouldn't display any rank insignia, such as winter uniforms, wind blouses, fatigue blouses, athletic suits, tropical shirts, etc.. The new camouflage sleeve rank insignia consisted of an assorted number of horizontal bars and oak-leave patterns with a green version for the ranks of Unteroffizier up to and including Oberst and a golden yellow version for the ranks of Generalmajor through to Generalfeldmarschall.
The insignia consists of a screen printed, rayon construction base featuring, camouflage Leutnant's rank insignia with double green, horizontal, bars positioned below dual, horizontal, oak-leaves with two acorns, on a black printed rayon field.
