#World War II #History# Stills of "German Professional" Klein Schumann, note that his collar badge and military hat are not the same as the German officers next to him? The collar badge of the lieutenant next to the Wehrmacht is a Roman column pattern, while the collar badge of Clay Schumann is a garland pattern, and the wind belt and hat emblem of the military hat are also different. So, what is his identity?
He was not a Wehrmacht, but a Nazi German customs officer, and before 1937, the collar badge of German customs was the same as that of the Wehrmacht, which was also a Roman column pattern, and after 1937 it was changed to the garland style in the picture.
The rank of customs is very complicated, but it can also correspond to the rank of the Wehrmacht, Figure 4 is the rank of The Customs of Nazi Germany, compared with the stills, you will find that the characters in the movie wear the school officer collar badge, but the epaulettes are lieutenant officers, which may be a small mistake. As for why a customs officer wears the Edelweiss logo of a mountain soldier, I don't know.
