Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Left sleeve of the uniform tunic of the SS' Sicherheitsdienst (SD). This SS uniform belonged to Ernst Josef Albert Weiner (1913 – 1945), head of the intelligence department Sipo IV N in the Sicherheitspolizei in Oslo in German-occupied Norway during World War II.
  • SS style 'arm eagle' (Ärmeladler, 'sleeve eagle' ), a woven "eagle-and-swastika" patch on left sleeve. In March 1936, Hitler approved a new art deco national imperial eagle (Reichsadler) with staggered wingtips as emblem for the SS (SS Hoheitszeichen), which was worn through the end of the war as a cap badge and on the sleeve.
  • SD sleeve diamond (Ärmelraute)
  • Blank cuff title band (German: Ärmelstreifen) for Sicherheitsdienst (SD) district/sub district security personnel
etc.

The majority of SS personnel wore a variation of the Waffen-SS uniform or the grey-green SS service tunic. Branches with personnel that normally would wear civilian attire in the Reich (such as the Gestapo and Kripo) were issued grey-green SS uniforms in occupied territory to avoid being mistaken for civilians.

Deutsche Soldaten: Members of the Sicherheitsdienst, the SS security service. Their tasks included being in charge of arresting enemies of the Reich and commanding the Einsatzgruppen (The SS death squads). They were distinguishable by the fact the right collar patches on all ranks below Standartenführer were blank and did not have the SS runes. They also used an SD diamond on their left sleeves and had toxic green piping on their shoulder boards from 1942 onwards. Their shoulder boards were of the same design as the police. A blank cuff title was also worn by SD members, but this practice was slowly abandoned as the war went on.
