I can't for the life of me figure out why he would move his sleeve eagle up and wear the shield below, or maybe his sleeve eagle was just a bit high to begin with.
Indeed a rare photo.

Wasn't it normal practice (perhaps even laid down in regulations) that the sleeve eagle had to be shifted up the sleeve to accomodate the Cholm Shield below? 4 other examples of this being done are to be found in photos on pages 132/133 of Volume 2 of "The German Police" (Bender, 2009). Can anyone quote chapter and verse of the regulations?
The only other arm badge (known formally as a Wehrmacht Battle Badge, or Wehrmacht Kampfabzeichen) that has been confirmed to have been worn by the Police was the Narvik Shield, although I have yet to see this confirmed in a period photograph. Does anyone know of any other shield worn by the Police?
