Hi Adalberto

Luftnachrichtentruppe - Airforce Signals troop.

I should know what the I.G. stands for but I am having an "oldtimers" momment on that one.

Here's a set of tabs showing the Signals waffenfabre or branch colour

Hello Adalberto and Laurence.

From a person who pleads guilty to the occasional senior moments :

"i.G. " : im Generalstab. Used behind the rank, i.e Oberst i.G. to indicate belonging to the corps of General Staff Officers and on duty with deployed formations. When on duty with High Commands it would be expressed as "d.G." or des Generalstabes. General Officers would no longer be so identified regardless whether on assignment as general staff officer or in command of troops .
