KM medical board..need input..

[Hans Kristian]

Hi christian amd many thanks for the comment.

Well, I am aware of the regulations that ergänzungs-offiziere should have black underlay - I posted just such boards in post 14.

But the problem is, that the board that started this thread has a black bottum and a konrnblumenblau waffenfarbe. The construction looks very much KM as both Eduardo and agree upon, but I never read anywhere that the Kriegsmarine used this type of boards.!!
This type was used by LW, WH and the Waffen-SS. But by the KM..?..I have no idea..

Thanks again,
Hans Kristian

1. I messed this up. I do have a reserve officer frock coat but not a supplementary officer. Sorry for this...just have not read carefully.



Eduardo is very right. And here your info:

MDv260, Issue 1935, Instruction for cloth and dresses, enclosure 1, is describing exactly what Eduardo has said. All supplementary officers except admirals - have to wear shoulder boards with a black underlay, including those for white jacket.

As for the arm insignia, it is described as "surrounded by an endless rope"....as shown in the pics in the other thread.

Regards
Christian
