next to the
German eagle are two 'Laufbahn abzeichen'. They were usually worn on the
arm of the uniform showing the speciallity of the soldier. To the left 'Flugmelde
Laufbahn', right 'Technische Scheinwerfer Lehrgang (Küste)', with the
chevrons 'Electrotechnische Lehrgang'. Rather strange, the chevrons
usually indicate higher rank, in this case it seems to have an other
meaning? But both apply to a radar station! |
