    Werluftschutz Collar Tab

    Here is a single tab from the uniform of the Werkluftschutz.

    A rather scarce tab I believe.

        Here is my tab, same rank as Ron's but with differences in embroidery.
        I do not have any references on this organization, does anyone know what the rank is?
        Thanks,

                What did the higher ranking tabs look like? If you can post pics that would be great.

                  I will try to make a scan of the table today. I would love to have an example for my collection. I do not know why this branch is so rare.

                    Hello,

                    nice tabs - thank you for showing! I'm also looking for Werkluftschutz-stuff (Luftschutz at all) and it is 'funny' that most of the collectors tell me, that Werkluftschutz is not interesting, but if they got something for me "it's so rare", so expensive!
                    But i would be glad, if there are some more items for me...

                    Regards

                    Luftschutz

                        WLS -Bereitschaftsfuhrer?

                        The attribution of the rank of WLS -Bereitschaftsfuhrer to this collar tab was an "educated guess" by David Littlejohn in "Defending the Reich".

                        The ranks used by the Führergruppe in about 1940 were:
                        Werkluftschutzleiter Großbetrieb
                        Stellvertreter Werkluftschutzleiter Großbetrieb
                        Werkluftschutzleiter Mittelbetrieb
                        Stellvertreter Werkluftschutzleiter Miittelbetrieb
                        Werkluftschutzleiter Kleinbetrieb
                        Stellvertreter Werkluftschutzleiter Kleinbetrieb

                        At that time they used collar patches and shoulder straps to denote position. Earlier (?) rank insignia was worn on the cuff.

                        If anyone can shed any light on the subject of the WLS's rank insignia, I'd appreciate it.
