Paul R Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 It resembles the Reichsfuhrer shoulder board, but of course the emblem is different(three leaves joined at the base)... Were there any other branches of service or government that used the SS style boards?

Yes, there was one more state organisation that used the SS-pattern shoulderboards - the system of National Political Institutes of Education (Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten, NPEA or Nationalpolitische Lehranstalten, Napola). The officer ranked members of these Instituts wore silver cords on a black backing, just like the SS-Führer.
Paul R Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Did they have a rank that used that single oakleaf?
Laurence Strong Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Not sure that it is even an oak leaf due to the apearance of seperate leaves. It (the leaf) resembles the insignia for a Kreismeister des Deutches Falkenordens
