History


Cuff titles could serve several different purposes. They were used as commemorative or traditions insignia, or identifying the wearer as part of an elite unit. They were also used as career/role insignia. Some cuff titles were awarded to soldiers taking part in certain campaigns, making them the equivalent of a campaign medal. These are more accurately known as sleeve bands.

Cuff titles were mostly worn on the right sleeve, however, there were many exceptions to this rule.

This cuff title was introduced on June 21, 1939. It was worn by the tradition units of the so-called “Imker” units of the Condor Legion who participated in the Spanish Civil War. It is a red band with gold-coloured Gothic letters, with a gold-coloured top and bottom stripe. It was only worn with formal uniforms.
