ww2 Nazi Armed Forces official (Wehrmachtbeamte) Tunic-Lt. Colonel-Panzer Corps

Lot # 164 (Sale Order: 204 of 381)      

One of the more attractive WW2 period Nazi tunics!-In excellent condition-Lt. Colonel Rank sewn in shoulder boards with one pip and the HV Cypher for Heeresverwaltung,( Army Administration)- Most officials wore in addition to their dark green Waffenfarbe a secondary color (Nebenfarbe) denoting their branch—In this case the Pink most likely was for assignment to Panzer Corps-Very high quality tailor made tunic with bullion breast eagle and 2 place ribbon bar for 2nd class War Merit Cross W/Swords And Eastern Front Ribbon-In excellent condition and a scarce tunic!-..."Up to 1944, none of these officials were classified as soldiers; in that year certain groups were converted into officers in the Special Troop Service (Truppensonderdienst or TSD). These were the higher administrative officers (Intendanten) in ranks from captain to lieutenant general; the lower administrative officers (Zahlmeister) in the ranks of first and second lieutenant, and the judge advocates (Richter) in ranks from captain to lieutenant general. At this time all personnel of the Field Post Office were made soldiers as well, but formed a corps of their own rather than belonging to the TSD. It was also made possible for qualified reserve technical service officials to become reserve officers of the motor maintenance troops." SHOULDER BOARDS..“With certain exceptions, military officials (de: Militär-Beamte) wore shoulder boards similar to those of soldiers of equivalent rank, but distinguished by the addition of dark green elements: those equivalent to generals had a central cord in their braided shoulder boards which incorporated green chevrons, and those equivalent to officers wore a narrow green stripe between the rows of braid. WO-equivalent officials wore a complex braided shoulder board made of green, black and silver cords. In nearly all cases the shoulder board underlay was a double layer of dark green under Nebenfarbe, and metal pins with the HV (Heeresverwaltung, Heer/ army administration) cipher were worn. Most officials wore in addition to their dark green Waffenfarbe a secondary color (Nebenfarbe) denoting their branch.”...more
