Hello,
This has been an interesting read, thank you. To be honest I have never considered the TENO as shown above to be "police". In my naievite' I have always thought that they did not become "police" until late in the war when police type insignia was adapted.
My experience with TENO insignia has been limited to the pursuit of the elusive black bird. That said, does anyone know when they switched to "police/SS" type insignia as shown here in a photo taken from an earlier thread?
So far we have been discussing TENO specific insignia, but at some point they became standardized with the police as shown. Note the police style "meister" shoulder boards and sleeve eagles & SS/police style collar tabs.
Regards,
Bill Unland
