[anmarlodz]

Does anybody of you can write me if members of SS-Polizei division were wearing WSS uniforms ( with SS collartabs etc + SS Polizei cufftitle ) or standart Field Police uniforms with SS polizei cufftitle ? If field police uniforms , than were they wearing wss eagle on sleeve or standart police eagles ?
Does any of you have photos of SS-Polizei divsion members ? Thanks in advance for anwers.

Actualy I did so but no received no certain answer, that's why I asked here. Mostly you can see typical field police jacket with typical police collartabs and wss arme eagles, but seen also some photos showing , police field tunics with typical police eagles and ss collartabs ( usualy at higher rank officers ), or police tunics with police collartabs and police arm eagles with only ss breast runes, or even army/wss jacket with police insignia. Some of the photos were showing SS Polizei members wearing cufftitles , some doesn't have them.


My main question is; would be wrong if SS Polizei Diviosion member would wear fully field police jacket ( with all police insignia ) with only ss ingnia being ss polizei cufftitle?

I'm asking cause I have police jacket with all inignia removed and only police collartabs being clearly visible but not visible traces of police or ss arm eagle being applied, but with traces of cufftitle ( might be feldgendermerie or ss cufftitle), and was wondering about restoring it but would like to do it in right way.

What do you mean with "Field Police jacket" ? I
s the uniform you have armed forces field gray or Polizei grün ????
If the uniform is Polizei color it has nothing top do with the Waffen SS Polizei Division.
They wore Waffen SS insignia (SS tabs, black shoulderstraps) SS Polizei CT after 1942
and before that SS eagles and regular litzen and field gray shoulderstraps with green piping on Field gray uniforms.
Their MP platoon (Feldgendarmerie Zug orange piping.

A Feldgendarmerie soldier (MP) in the Polizei Division in the early years would not wear any SS insignia...
just an Orange Feldgendarmerie sleeve eagle (but not often seen outside of Handschar Div), otherwise SS sleeve eagle
+ brown Heer pattern Feldgendarmerie cuff title.
After 1942 SS tabs and usually an SS sleeve eagle and SS Polizei Division CT or black SS Feldgendamerie CT (or both)
Both combinations on field gray uniforms, not Polizei grün combat uniform!

Mid and late war Polizei Division (or any W-SS Div)Feld Gendarmerie Zug member...
The Heer pattern orange MP eagle was not often worn in the W-SS, more often they just retained their SS sleeve eagle ...but it is possible and the orange MP eagle was most often seen photographed in Handschar Div!

OK. That's explain a lot. Thank you very much for help.
So the police green jacket won't be the good one for SS Polizei division ? Is that correct ?
If so would it be suitable for Feldgendermerie ( MP )?
My jacket is typical police green jacket with collar in the same color as the body (NOT like Gendermerie with brown collar and brown cuffs ) and has traces of cufftitle being applied on left sleeve.

Its probably a "motorisierte gendarmerie" CT for a Polizei uniform! Absolutely nothing to do with Polizei Division!
Uniforms without brown collar are for field use and l in Police green (Polizei Grün!) unrelated to W-SS., unreleted to Military Police (Feldgendarmerie)

Example here:

Or perhaps the uniform was restored incorrectly to W-SS leaving a trace of a CT???...Very few polizei units wore cuff titles,
it was not a unit title but "motorized Police" was worn on the left sleeve sometimes.(Photo credit: emedals)

So I guess I can't put on it ornage police eagle and feldgendermerie cuftitle ? Than what color should have Field Police units ? Green collars tabs and green Police eagle ?
I thought that Field Police units were widley used on front ( for example in fighting the partisans in Balkans or in Russia ).

by the way; description in link says these full police green field jackets might been used early by SS Police division.
