    SS Uschule Radolfzell (unterfuhrerschule/NCO school)

    Does anybody have shoulderboard insignia or other related artifacts from
    SS Uschule "Radolfzell" (unterfuhrerschule/NCO school in Radolfzell am Bodensee) to share here?
    The SS NCO candidate school shoulderstraps would have the metal cyphers "US + R".
    Any examples out there???

    The reason why I am asking about the NCO school in Radolfzell, it
    has to do with this SS SCHOOL marked MP41 gun :

    The only thing I have a Wehrpaß to a (the) SS Stabsscharführer at Radolfzell in 1942/43....he later was missing fighting in Normandy with Hohenstaufen.

      Here some pics from that school

      Here some pics from a fellow WAF member (thanks David!) showing NCO candidates (or this might be an instructor based on his medals) from NCO school Radolfzell! Note "US" + "R" shoulderboard cyphers!

          Nick,

          Have you seen any other examples from other Unterfuhrerschules? "US" + "????" shoulderboard cyphers

          Cheers

            Yes

            Yes sure, here's another uniform example;
            a different Unterfuhrer school, starts with an "L"!
            I believe it stands for Unterfuhrerschule Lauenberg (Pommern)

              Unterfuhrerschule Arnheim

              There were also Waffen SS NCO schools outside of the Reich. A famous place would be "SS UnterfuhrerSchule Arnheim" (Arnhem in Holland) and these NCO candidates immediately got thrown into the battle when things started to heat up in Arnhem, Sept'44!
              I wonder if they used the "US + A" cyphers on their shoulderstraps?
              Now that would be cool to find!!!
              Any examples out there of NCO school shoulderstraps? Any school!!

                          Nice!! The "US" in Wehrmacht use on their straps would mean "UnteroffizierSchule" ("Under/sub Officer" School for NCO candidates)
                          in the SS it means "UnterfuhrerSchule" ("Under/sub Leader" school), same cyphers different wording!
