Chris Boonzaier Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hi Guys, thanks, the 2 numbers on the collars in different sizes so far apart from each other really confused me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Hi Chris! Ingo Löhken writes in his book "Die Polizei-Unifoemen in Preussen 1866-1945", that there ain´t no recordings about SiPo uniforms. He only writes, that ranks below a major had numbers upon the collars. One number stands for the Abteilung (detachement) and the other for the Gruppe (group). Telecommunication personal had flashes, mounted troops had crossed lances and flying personal had propellers. The numbers and the symbols were worn until 1920 (not in the occupied areas like Slesia and so on). Here is an example of the lightng.
