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 August 9, 1942. Initially it was introduced for the Infantry Regiment 271 and its replacement battalion due to their origin in the SA-Standarte “Feldherrnhalle”. Later, it was worn by other units that bore the honour name “Feldherrnhalle” as well. It is a brown band with silver-coloured Kurrent letters, with a silver-coloured top and bottom stripe. It was worn on the left sleeve.
