As suggested by another member, I’m going to start branch specific uniform threads. It seems that great uniforms are scattered across are 6,750 postings on 18 pages and to cover all branches on a single thread could be cumbersome. It is a mutual feeling that this consolidation of branch specific uniforms into one thread will perhaps provide an easier reference for visiting collectors.
I'm sure Pat will recognize this picture of a great tunic he sent my way!

Gary,
I am duly impressed! Is your Generalmajor tunic identified or have provinance? Interesting sleeve eagle. I have seen this mix of bullion and cellion on the wings of the police eagle before. Now that I think about it, I believe I have one on a Gendarmerie tunic.

SS-Brigadeführer u. Generalmajor d. Polizei Karl Brunner. Promoted to Pol Oberst 19 April 1941 and Pol Generalmajor 21 October 1942 I believe. Since your tag is dated 1941 is there any sign he upgraded the tunic when he was promoted to Generalmajor in 1942? He had the IC 1st and 2nd class as well as the KVC 1st with swords and the gold sports badge pinback awards.

Hi Orpo. Looks like the tunic has had a few changes in the past to include the manufaturer.
If you look at the shoulderboard yoy can see a loose thread.
The lining looks as though it has also seen a few changes. Here is a picture of the other markings for a Bremen taylor while the tag is a Berlin taylor

Hi Orpo Looks like there has been one or two changes to include the manufacturer.
If you look at the shoulderboard you can see a loose thread. Some of the lining looks as though it has been altered professionaly. Here are the additional markings.

Very nice tunic Pat...get the rest of your film developed, those are nice pix! It looks like he was afraid he would lose that ribbon bar doesn't it?
Gary, let's see if we can do some detective work on your tunic with deductive reasoning. Can you read the month date on the Berlin tag? Brunner served in Berlin at the RSHA Personnel Office from March '41 while he was a Pol Oberst. His other service was in the South, in Munich, the Tyrol, Salzburg, and Italy where he was captured in '45. He was not stationed in the North (Bremen), so one would not expect to see a Bremen tailor marking in his tunic. He did receive the Spang to the IC 2nd and wore it on his SS tunic in the same manner as on your Pol Generalmajor tunic. He had three breast badges, which would equate to the three sets of loops on your tunic, but he did not receive the third one (IC 1st) until 1945, so there should only be two loops until that time. You might check to see if there is any reworking of the badge loops. I hope this helps.

Hi George
I wondered about the Bremen markings myself. I have his complete records from 1934 until 1945 and some orders but I still did not find anything that mentions Bremen. I am purplexed to these markings, maybe a favorate holiday destination?? maybe a big chain of taylors with the main office in Bremen?? who knows. I dont, wish I could go back and ask him.
Also noticed that the collar has been comletely reworked, looks like this one has been added probably to accomadate the collar patches. All the buttons on the front have been restitched which cannot be seen from the outside but there are one or two different colour green threads on the inside.
All-in-all even with the Bremen anomoly I still think it is a spectacular original upgraded piece, and I would not part with it for all the tea in China.
I think it is dated November,I will have to get it out and check it.

Pat,
Here is a nice enlisted greatcoat to go along with your EM SCHUPO tunics. Unlike Gary's tailor made officer greatcoat, this one is a heavyweight that has a full blanket lining. It has the brown collar with green piping that was worn before the collar cloth was made in the same color as the coat. You will also notice that the coat tails hook up under the pocket flaps and the belted back to get them out of the way. I presume this is so the fellow could ride a bicycle, but I have not seen this on other coats. It appears the hooks and eyes were put in when the coat was manufactured as they are covered with little pieces of matching cloth.

Summer weight wool Schupo Mantel for Oberarzt Medical Doctor. This lightweight greatcoat is made from hard finished summer weight wool and has a brown sateen lining with a sword slot. It is made in the standard cut for Police Officers coats, but it has no piping on the brown collar. When found, it had yellow powder residue in the pockets that turned out to be antiseptic sulfa powder.

Hello George!
That is a most interesting Schupo Mantel for Oberarzt you posted! The blue colored underlay shoulder straps have been a subject of interest in several past threads. Glad to finally see some of this subject material as I’ve often wondered if any of it was around! Thanks for sharing!

Gary, I think the medical branch uniforms of the police are very rarely encountered as there were obviously very few police medical personnel. Most photos I have seen show docs in white lab coats, although stretcher bearers are uniformed wearing the red cross armband. There is one photo of a Polizei Division doc in uniform in Angolia's book on SS insigina I believe, but you cannot tell the color of the boards, tabs, or piping of course. Same thing applies to the Veterinär branch with black Kragenspiegel.
Dave, I think the Mantel is interesting both because it is from the medical branch and because it is a lightweight greatcoat. In my experience, the lightweight greatcoats are few and far between. It seems the medical collar tabs and shoulder boards were perhaps, at different times, both green and blue backed according to published regulations. I think the tunic piping was always green, but I would certainly love to find a blue piped one that is not related to the Kommunalpolizei. It is also interesting that the brown collar of this coat is made without any piping. That certainly elimates the question of piping color. I think the regulations were pretty vague and perhaps not fully understood by the doctors and tailors as well. I will let Joe or Ernst comment on regs.

Oh, I didn’t notice the brown collar was made without piping until you mentioned it! Wouldn’t blue piping be something!
If memory serves me correctly, Joe has been most helpful in the past with regulations/thoughts pertaining to this subject. In fact, I believe he posted a pol. tunic with blue collar tabs before?

I searched my albums for a shot of a medical officer and found this in an album of the 302 Pol Btl on the way to Austria to form GebJgRgt 18. I hope the shoulder board is visible from the scan.
The doctor is talking with two other officers and the shading indicates to me the two others have green collar tabs while the doctor has blue. This is according to previous threads. The shoulder boards would be Schupo green underlay.
Which leads to a question about your overcoat George. Aren't the boards basically Heer Oberartz? At least according to all the published regulations. But this seems at odds with your obvious officer quality mantel and evidence of medical use. Any evidence of the sleeve medical insignia having been on the coat

Joe,
You are correct that these shoulder boards are no different than the Heer medical Arz boards. They do seem to be original to this coat and have wear and tear commensurate with being contemporary to the coat. The greatcoat itself shows no sign of ever having a sleeve eagle or medical patch. The other interesting thing about this coat is the absence of any collar piping. The coat was manufactured in this manner and has not had any piping removed. The Mantel simply is what it is as a material culture artifact.
Here is the picture that I found from Jack Angolia's "Cloth Insignia of the SS (updated)" page 467. (Utilized here for scholarly review/discussion Jack) These boards appear to have dark underlay, but the photo is not as distinct as yours Joe. Can you see if there is any piping on the collar or down the front on your tunic photo Joe?

George, here is a frontal shot of the doctor. He is identified as the Stabsartz of the batallion in the photos. You can see he has a private purchase Feldbluse with brown collar and
cuffs of tunic material. It is difficult to reproduce the contrast of the tabs with the collar, but the two officers he is with definitely have green tabs and his are dark blue. This would make the boards green with the doctor insignia according to regulations.

Joe,
That is the clearest photo of a Pol Arzt I have seen yet. I certainly believe that this fellow has green backed boards and blue collar tabs (they appear to me to have dark stripes in the collar tab Litzen in the Heer style) if that is what you can make out. Those colors are what the regulation plates seem to indicate. The fellow in your photo seems to have no discernible piping (probably had none) just as with the Pol Division Arzt picture from Angolia. Of course the problem with the W-SS Police Division is their constant mix of Heer, W-SS, and Polizei insignia. Another picture from Jack's book, on page 311, shows a group of police officers who are wearing both Heer and Polizei collar Litzen on their collars as they constantly did. One even has a Waffenfarbe V on his Polizei style side cap and the fellow across from him has on a Heer style side cap. The Pol Division doctor could simply be wearing blue backed shoulder boards because they were regulation for both the Heer and Waffen-SS. Heck Joe, now that I think of it this could in fact be a 4th W-SS Polizei Division coat instead of a SCHUPO coat.

George, I wouldn't worry about using the photo of the officers with mixed insignia from Jack's book. He "borrowed" it and others without credit from the unit history of the 4th SS Polizei Divison. The officer with the soutache on his police officer overseas cap was Oberst Brenner, commander of the 4th SS-Polizei Artillery unit. All of the staff officers there are Schupo officers and they are no doubt wearing private purchase Feldblusen, not the Heer design tunics as Jack suggests, modified with SS sleeve eagles.
I checked a couple of albums for officer overcoats and those I found had no piping like the NCO variety. George,the Oberartz in my photo is wearing a private purchase Feldbluse so it has no piping either.

Here are two varieties of the Police Medical specialty patch as authorized for the lower sleeve. The one on the left is green thread embroidery and the one on the right is green cording. I don't know if this particular specialty patch was embroidered in aluminum wire as well, but I have the aluminum, thread, and cord embroidery on other Pol specialty patches.

George, I checked a couple of other albums and found some closeups of officer overcoats and piping is evident on those. So, the other shots may have been too far away for the piping to register. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Pat. That is the specialty patch I need for my coat. Actually, I think I just need it because I don't have one. I hope you picked up something nice in Germany.
Thanks for looking at your albums Joe. I have seen some police greatcoats without piping, but most seem to have them. Does your Medical tunic have piping or is it a field tunic? I think the discussion we have had about the Medical uniform can be pretty much the same for the Pol Veterinary service, don't you? I have a TENO Polizei greatcoat with black piping, but I know it is TENO Pol and not Veterinary Pol because it is so marked inside.

George, the medical tunic is a M36 with green piping like they are supposed to have, with blue tabs and green boards with medical attachment. The Vets are the same, but with black tabs and green boards with respective attachment.
Beautiful Teno overcoat. Check out the earlier threads for a shot of the medical tunic.

Pre-war Prussian Schupo Umhang. This cape is Prussian blue with green piping around the blue collar. The cape is dated 1925 and is marked to the Elbersfeld (Prussia) Polizei. It has arm slits that button in front and lining in the shoulders only.

Umhang worn open showing the blue collar that is a denser weave of wool than the body of the cape. The collar is the same color as the body and is piped in green; the same as the tunic. The partial shoulder lining is also visible. These Prussian blue uniforms continued to be worn by NS Zeit Hilfspolizei during the war, although I have not seen photos of the cape being worn after 1936.

A very nice saddle form cap Gary. I really like this high saddle shape on officer caps. It looks like it has the one piece silvered officer eagle as well. Nice find!
Here is a soft form NCO for comparison. This one has soft padding in the peak and is dated 1940. Interestingly, the chin strap buttons are pebbled aluminum like officer buttons. This is probably as close to a "crusher" as the wartime police got.

Interior view showing the sweat shield and markings. Notice that the cap has screened vents on the top. This is often seen on early police caps and sometimes on those later police caps that are tailor made.

Both tunics are made from the same type of cloth. Color is allmost a perfect match....difference probably only due to fading.

Ernst,
Very nice summer weight tunic and coat. The tailoring is just what I would expect to see on both of them. Visible partial lining stitching on the tunic and stitched false cuffs on the overcoat. I also like this summer twill material as it seems to hold its color much better than the HBT cloth.

My new addition need to be addes to this thread to keep it going My officers M43 in other ranks quality wool. Collar patches have been machine sewn, with no other evidence of other collar pathes being worn. Arm eagle has been hand applied, there is also no other evidence that another eagle had been previously applied. There is a little tracking which can only be seen in the correct lighting, so I believe that the collar patches and arm eagle are original to the tunic.

Another very special jacket in. Customs had this one for 4 months and it finally got here today.
This one is for a Berlin police with a very nice Belin eagle, it also has a few other very nice items.

The Southern Cross Traditions badge on a previous tunic is very rare...I have only seen photos, and not that many.
This is one I came across in a Chinese edition of 'Grossdeutscher Reichskriegertag Kassel 1939' showing Colonial Bund members wearing it.

Tristan, excellent looking uniforms and I would have to agree with Bill, especially the officer's!
The Southern Cross is a tough one to find on a police uniform photo, although more and more are showing up with awareness and interest in the subject area. Below is one of a few examples I have.

Hi Bill,
Neat looking eh? An interesting picture and it didn't take long for someone to comment on other interesting features! Not sure of the exact regulation or circumstances, although it seems like I recall seeing a few other random photos of white visors with green uniforms.
Offhand I don't remember what or when the event was, although this is part of a large grouping (1,000+ photos) to Major d. Schutzpolizei Wilhelm Kleibaum (He's the one on the left).

Perhaps it is an illustration error, those do happen as seen in other period publications. Otherwise I've not know generals rank straps to be constructed any other way than what's pictured below (gold/silver/gold). WSP cuff rings were supposed to be gold...as far as I remember offhand. Is this another illustration issue? Below is a link to a restarted WSP uniforms specific thread: http://daggers.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1653059744/m/7110042655

That could be, although I'm not familiar with dipo corps and others (I'm just a polizei nutt!). Perhaps a good question to ask in the political uniforms forum.

Hello,
All general officers were SchuPo so all wore green backed tabs. There were no SchuPo. D. Gemeinden Polizei Generals, and as I recall only pre-war Gendarmerie generals.

Brown belts & leather goods were primarily used by the Gendarmerie...take a look at the Gendarmerie Uniforms thread. Schupo utilized black. Hope that helps!

thanks again Dave:Here`s another, the polizei portepees in the angolia sword book it describes the knot silver with green stripes as Schp.d Reiches & the silver knot as Schp.d Gemeinden,yet others say that the striped one was for the bayonet n.c.o.& the silver for the officers degen.Do you which is correct if any?

Liner of the left hand front closure panel has the following black ink markings between two button holes :
" RBNr.0/0320/0001 "
and size numbers :" 103-68-47-90-"
and what should be the issue year of "44"
and further down what could be the 'Bekleidungsamt' or a district number
" IV " .
--All very interesting !

Bernd ... CONGRATS! What a spectacular 'late war' Polizei Tunic!
Your Super Photo Skills really fill in the details nicely for us.
The Condition just couldn't be any better... Txs, Dave/dblmed

Thanks , Dave .
I thought I would place my Dad's dress tunic on this forum next .
My Dad had this tunic tailored by Thiele / Munich and wore it to Hitler's Birthday parade on 20th April 1942 as he stood with drawn sword in front of a ' Hundertschaft ' of Schutzpolizei men .
First a drawing showing my Dad.

..and a view from the other side .
The Officer's sword is by Eickhorn and has the SS-runes in a box on the underside of the cross hand guard and atop the scabbard throat.
I added the BALKAN arm shield to his sleeve , since from summer 1942 on he served with the Police Volunteer Battalion No. 8 Croatia .
There is the notion that this shield was never awarded , however , there is also the account by an SS Officer of the 'Prince Eugen'
7th SS Mountain Troop Division , that he handed out a 100 of these shields to his men in 1945and close to the end of the war .

..and an other close up .
By-the-way, Dad's Iron Cross 2nd class , was handed to him in person by famous General von Pannwitz who was in charge of the Russian Cossak units that fought for the Germans in the Balkans at the end of the war .
My Dad's unit was attached to von Pannwitz to fight Tito's partisans .

Bernd - What a Spectacular (& so very Special) Polizei Uniform for your Father! Collecting makes History come to life for all of us, & for you especially, there is this wonderful connection with your Father. (A 'Perfect' Post as we are now very near to Father's Day!)
Regarding the Balkan Shield - like so many other Late War items - Collectors should keep an open mind & perspective! So much was happening & the "spare Administrative time" to properly document presentations (as was in early war), no longer existed. Plus the supply & distribution system was greatly impaired - some essential item reached the Front - others did not. I'd much prefer to give credence to the Soldiers who were there, at the time - than to those who rely upon only by very limited documentation.
A wonderful 'time capsule' of real history! Txs for Sharing! Dave/dblmed

Again,thank you Dave .
Here now the 2nd part of my story .
As Dad and I looked in 1965 for his dress tunic in his footlocker at his home in Hamburg , Germany , we found a 2nd tunic ! He had forgotten about this one .
This tunic was issued to him when he got his promotion to Oblt.and the tunic liner has an black ink cancel that reads :' Lapo -Muenchen '
He had never worn this tunic and the Officer's sleeve eagle had not been sewn on .
On this tunic all insignia is subdued and the buttons have a gray-green paint finish .

The leather map case and the gray-green felt line leather belt were also still in the footlocker .
I shipped everthing home in that foot locker !
