Heer Heeresadler on Shoulder Boards

[Andrew42]

Hi!

You know that the uniform of the Wehrmacht's military administration officials (Militärverwaltung) was a white plate in the form of an eagle.

This symbol is worn by officials of all categories...

[Andrew42]

... who could wear these pads in a gold?

Maybe the staff officers of the Commander of the Wehrmacht abroad (Stab/WH-Befehlshaber)?

Kreigsmarine Beamter

Beamte der Kriegsmarine worn on the shoulder straps of the white metal signs

And the shape of the Eagle was different

You are correct. Mea Culpa

An interesting picture in the book, Schlicht Angolia "Die deutsche Wehrmacht.", with signature "Stab/Wehrmacht-Befehlshaber/Leutnant"

Unfortunately, the book has only a few words about the use of that mark. And only for senior officers (of course, the Eagle of the white metal)

Logically, the mid-level officers were required to have a golden color.

I love the KM NCO Beamte. I have been looking for one of those for a long time(insignia or uniform). Great thread guys.

Here is a pair I own...

I have no use in my collection, if anybody is interested please contact me at panzeric@gmail.com

Those are a beautiful set. Larry- in the case of the Heer, does the gold reflect the education/career level or it related to the General Officer grades?

Hello Paul

As mentioned in the first post, the Militärverwaltung were the only ones to use eagles on their SB's. They were not used to denote career level. This was done by the collar tabs just like the Wehrmachtbeamte.
