Help with ID's

[Jack T]

As most of you know I'm trying to ID items in my grandfather's , a WWII Vet, trunk. I came across these patches and was wondering if anyone knew what they were?

thanks

#1 - rosette for a field cap
#2 - Oberschutze sleeve rank insignia
#3 - appears to be the back of a breast eagle
#4 - Officer Collar Tab - the branch depends on the color (can't tell for sure from the photograph). Pink would be Panzer and red would be Artillery.
#5 - Signal Blitz (worn on the sleeve). Again the same problem telling the color.

Thank you for the help. Guess I had the breast eagle backward.

The collartab is pink. So I'm guessing panzer. There is only one, am I correct in guessing that most of the time these come as a set?

The signal blitz is red and has the initials R.N. printed on the back.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

Yes, Collar tabs always come in a set.

But yould be surprised how many guys just brought back one.

Guess they needed room in there duffle for bigger & better stuff.
