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 October 24, 1944. It was worn by all participants of the Battle of Metz, as well as by all members of the Infantry Officer Candidates School VI in Meseritz, but only as long as they were assigned to the school. It is a black band with silver-grey Latin letters, with a silver-grey top and bottom stripe.
