Heer Shoulder Board Slip On

[Edpin]

Hello Guys,

Can anyone please shed some light on this red woolen stripe to be slipped onto a shoulder board? Like the history behind it, its usage, the meaning behind the colour, etc.

I did find some info saying it was used to denote the wearer's regiment or battalion. But haven't found exactly what. I've seen many colour stripes like: red woolen stripe, yellow cotton stripe, combined pink and yellow stripe, red soutache, golden twisted cord, and so on.

Thank you in advance, your help will be appreciated!

They are meant to represent a unit within a unit. An example could be the III battalion of an Infanterie Regiment. Another example could be of a smaller size unit such a battalion or Abteilung in which case it could represent a Kompanie.
