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.
