Reichs level Gala bullion political band. Interesting question raised by this band. Estate find with 1 other, however this one does not correlate to any specific rank. It is either unfinished (while being resized in the back?) or never had them, as there is no evidence of them being there. Will be starting a thread on this one and the other found together soon.

Luftschutzabteilungen der Luftwaffe

*"On March10, 1942, the motorized SHD battalions were transferred to the Luftwaffe and renamed Luftschutzabteilungen der Luftwaffe (mot).

They were a special branch within the Luftwaffe Constuction Branch (Lw-Bau).

These mobile units were concerned with assisting at bomb damage areas, to include fire fighting when necessary."
