militaria item Railway Police collar patch
- German
This is for the Bahnschutzpolizei ORs tunic. The BSP came under Reichsbahn control for their regular service duties. For specialist service, eg concentration camp deliveries, they were under Himmler's hand.

militaria item Two Schupo Litzen, one cotton and one wool
- German
These are two different examples of Schutzpolizei collar tabs, introduced in the uniform changes of 1936. The Schupo were a truly national force, as opposed to the Gendarmerie/Landespolizei (countryside) and Gemeindepolizei (town police). They, like the Ordnungspolizei, lived in barracks, a little bit like the Guardia Civil of Franco's Spain.

testimonials

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
