Gentlemen,
Since we have a tread running on Luftwaffe cuffbands we should also have one on the Heer.
I'll start with a brief run down now and perhaps add more info later.
The first cuffband in use was simply UNTEROFFIZIERESCHULE. As more schools were added numbers 1,2,3, and 4 were added. The Luftwaffe wore the same cuffband but without the school numbers. On 2 October 1990, the cuffbands were changed to read "HEERESUNTEROFFIZIERESCHULE 1,2,3 and #4 was added on 1 April 1991. HUS #3 was closed in September 1990 and is the hardest one to find because of the short time it was worn. I have one on the way from Germany and that is why this one is missing from the picture.
Panzerlehrbrigade 9 was introduced in 24 September 1987. The officers gold one (worn only by the commanding general of Panzerlehrbrigade 9) and the silver one are done in wire and are shown packaged as they come from LDH. The enlisted man's cuffband is shown in thread embroidery.
The Heeresflieger cuffband was adopted in 1973.
Regards,
Gordon
