Oswald Pohl uniform question

[Herr Otto]

Hello to all

I have one question about Tunic of Oswald Pohl when he was Gruppenfuhrer, and later also... Did he has an Administrative sleeve diamond patch on left sleeve, star shape symbol on black diamond? Something like that is visible on this photo so I wonder what that can be. Was he qualified to wear it? Thaks for answer.

Herr Otto, You may want to ask Ulrich Woodhams who is the alias behind
"Ulrich of England". He has in the past owned the "alleged" Litewka tunic & the pale grey SS tunic of SS Obergruppenfuhrer Oswald Pohl.
He may enlighten on your quest....

And on the other hand he may just completely ignore you ... unless he smells a strong whiff of profit.

I think I smelled that a few times at the SOS...or the guy I was walking behind ate at the BBQ pork shack in the lobby.

I have 2 uniform photos of the above said officer in front of me,
however they are in the rank of Obergruppenfuhrer.
There are no arm diamonds on either uniform.
Pohl was qualified to wear the arm diamond of "Administrative officer"
which is signified by a 8 sided star.
Of the above uniforms in his rank, he became head of that department
therefore qualifying him to superceed his arm diamond with the Aluminium thread sleeveband(these were worn by Reichsfuhrer, Hauptamtchefs, Amtschefs and a few other high office representatives).

Thanks for answer Istra!
I know that about aluminium sleeve band, when he became department chef.
My point of interest was just based on picture I posted in the first post, when Pohl was among others in Mauthausen tour. So he was qualified to wear that specific diamond as Gruppenfuhrer.
