My newest acquisition. A uniform of a fire service man of the fire brigade(department) KREFELD-UERDINGEN AM RHEIN. This fire brigade was one of 80 which was converted from 1939 in a professional fire prevention police. The jacket can be dated exactly, because from 1940 the town only KREFELD was called and the district UERDINGEN was not listed any more especially. The collar mirrors indicate it also clearly that it is an occupational firefighter, because these are bordered with the silver cord. A nice document piece for the short time of the blue uniforms at the fire prevention police.
