Police cap branch colors

[W.Unland]

Hello,

Here is an overlay photo to demonstrate the different branch colors found on police caps.

Not represented are the red of the traffic police and the black of the TENO police, and example of which I have never seen and is presumed to exist.

In order from top to bottom:

Gray------------Verwaltungspolizei

Carmine pink-----Feuerschutzpolizei

Green-----------Schutzpolizei

Dark Green------Prussian Landespolizei circa 1936

Orange----------Civil Gendarmerie

Carmine Pink-----Feuerwehr

Dark Green-------Luftschutzpolizei

Blue-------------Wasserschutzpolizei

Carmine Red-----Schutzpolizei d. Gemeinden

It is also easy to see the different thicknesses of piping used by different manufacturers from very thick to rather thin and insignificant.

Regards,

Bill Unland

Bill, What a fantastic Photo-Illustration! It doesn't get much better that that 'stack.'

It really shows us what we'd like to learn and know!

You are a Photoshop whiz, and an inspiration for all of us PS 'beginners!' ... Dave/dblmed
