Luftwaffe Signal Reserve Tabs
Gary B replied to Gary B's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment

Hi, I recently purchased a nice pair of Signal Reserve Tabs with matching shoulder boards. Two items of interest are the snaps affixed to the rear of the tabs to ease attachment/removal from the summer uniform. Most noteworthy about these tabs, but which is not really evident in the scans, is the fact that the stiffening material used on these tabs is sheet metal! All references/regulations I have read state that the stiffening material was either cardboard of buckram/sack cloth. Again this just reinforces the fact that the only rule for collecting some of these items is that the unexpected is to be expected! Gary B

Luftwaffe Uniform Tag

Dear Paul, Per Rick's comment; can you discuss the ribbon loops and award loops; as I recall there were some on this tunic. Gary B -
Hi, Attached is a picture of Generaloberst Rudel, Chief of Luftwaffe Flak. You will note that his General officer insignia is colord differently than the standard white backing material for Luftwaffe Generals. Rudel had a red cloth backing to his General insignia. I believe he also had a red underlay on his shoulder boards. Gary B
