Elusive Shoulder Strap.

[Fred Green]

Hello,


I collect a pretty specific collecting area. I am always looking for RH IR13 and TR IR56. III Btn,IR13 and Abteilung 57 of the Police formed I Btn,IR56 in the Fall of 1935. I am always on the look out for embroidered shoulder straps of both of these units.

I have always been looking for a transition pieces that fit in between these units during this timeframe. I picked up a few photos of an early IR56 unit and one of the soldiers was wearing straps that I didn't even know existed, an M33 Uniform cloth strap with an embroidered 56!!

Yesterday a packet arrived from Germany from my very good friend vizenz (Andreas P.) with an example of this shoulder strap. All I can say is WOW and thank you very much!!

Hello All,


Thanks for the nice comments. I am still looking for a few more IR13 and IR56 straps but this one would have been the hardest to find. I got lucky!!!


Yuri, you need to send me that strap!!

Congrats Fred.

IR 13 is pretty interesting. Walter Reinhardt, Rommel and Paulus all served in it.
