ccj Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 That's a very nice photo. I wonder if he wears an officer's feldzeichen. It doesn't look enlisted in pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.Perlet Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) I wouldn't really know but I think as a Vizefeldwebel he wouldn't have been entitled to wear an officer Feldzeichen. The only exception I am aware of, permitting officer like attributes are pertaining to Feldwebel-Leutnants. Since you are into uniforms the attached file in regards to dresscode regulations for Officers might be of interest to you - hopefully your German is "reasonably good"?
