History

Collar Tabs for foreign units in the Wehrmacht were introduced on May 29, 1943. There may have been different collar tabs specifically made for foreign troops before this date, but more information on this is needed.
They usually have insignia in silver tress on a dark backing with coloured piping.

The tabs worn by officers have a dark blue-green base patch with aluminum braid piping. On the base patch is a smaller ...   red patch sewn to it. It shows two crossed silver-coloured lances.
