History

Gorgets in the army showed a special function, and thus were only worn when on duty and when performing said function. With the exception of the Regimental Standard Bearer’s Gorget and the Feldherrnhalle Gorget, all gorgets of the army have a luminous paint finish so that they could be seen in the dark.

The Feldherrnhalle Gorget was only used during parades by the honour guard of the 60th Panzer Grenadier Division “Feldherrnhalle” and the 271st Infantry Regiment “Feldherrnhalle”. It has a silver-coloured shield and chain, while the design detail is gold-coloured.
