Dave/Paul, many thanks for all the information re: TN, and especially the PICs..and details regarding my 1st variation Field-Grey. Truely I have gone through collecting tunics the hard-way in some cases,and likewise gained much knowledge from the Duck....as well! I will be MORE the happy to send endless PIC's as soon as it arrives...I don't yet have it in my sweaty hands. Ha! I did just receive Angolia-Taylor's German Police Vol II..Awsome!!!...and also Defending the Reich, by David Littlejohn. What outstanding reference publications, just unbelievable. Did the Cufftitle come into existance in 1940 or later? All of the of 1941 photos I've seen the TN member is not wearing the CT. Littlejohn states the field-grey Wehrmacht/Heer type tunic was for ware only in occupied countries and Not worn in Germany (pg479). I caught Dave's comment on the shoulder board rank..so it brings into question Littlejohn's statement that "when wearing the field-grey uniform the same TN collar patch was worn on both sides of the collar, as well as TN shoulder straps/boards". So does that suggest the that rank was displayed both on the collar tabs & boards? Not sure I understand what was expected to be there given this statement. Angolia says rank only on both collar litzen, which is in line with Dave's statement. It looks like rank for my tunic belonged to a "what"? If no rank was applied to the shoulder boards what should have been on the collar litzen, left & right, if they were to be the same. confused!! I am by NO means an expert on TN..as you can see. I do love the spirit of the hunt and the exchange of discovery and historical information. I have an opportunity to acquire a TeNo service manual, oilcloth cover, ~100 pages, 5x8 format dated 1939. Thought it might be a nice addition while hunting the real tough-stuff! Also, were the EM/NCO's authorized to carry sidearms? I see Officer's were authorized in 1938. I'll send more pic's as soon as the cloth arrives. promise..
