Description
Sought after uniform removed shoulderboard set for a Heer (Army) Officer with the rank of Leutnant (Lieutenant) in the Aufklärungsabteilung (reconnaissance detachment.) Insignia related to these troops is rather hard to encounter. The base is yellow gold for cavalry troops. A great set of uniform removed insignia here!
Note – The Aufklärungsabteilung was the eyes and ears of the parent division. During the first campaigns of the Second World War they included horse-mounted and bicycle troops in the infantry divisions; in the more mobile motorized infantry and Panzer divisions they were equipped with motorcycle combinations (e.g., BMW R75, Zündapp KS 750), Volkswagen Kübelwagens, and Sd.Kfz. 221/222/223 light armored cars.
