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 August 16, 1938 for members of propaganda units. It is a black band with silver-coloured Gothic letters. It was supposed to be worn on the right sleeve, but was also frequently worn on the left sleeve instead.
