Weimar Weirdness 01

Thuringian Landespolizei Leutnant Hugo Behrens in 1920 is wearing ribbons from his left breast pocket flap. This style had come in during the war and can still sometimes be seen into the mid-1930s, but it was always strange and unusual.

Who knows-- perhaps THIS is where the equally bizarre method of wearing the Nazi 1934 Blood Order came from?
