Tho purpose of this publication is to make available tointelligence personnel of the Allied Forces, and to U.S. andBritish agencies concerned with the demobilization of theC-erran Army a handbook containing all the available informationconcerning German divisional Emblems. It presents, in SectionI, the principles govern! 7 the use and application of emblems,Section II brings all identified emblem designs of Germandivisions. An alphabetical index of designs contained in thisbook is furnished In Section III, and. examples of applicationaro appended.
It must be remembered that not all emblems likely to beencountered, are necessarily divisional, since a great numberof independent (GT"Q) units as well as some higher formationspossess their individual designs. However, particularly in thecase of smaller units, such designs aro apt to undergo veryfrequent changes, and. can only be collected at an activelyoperational level. In addition, there is a wide variety ofemblems in use by tho l:rrian Air Force and 1'avy, but sincethey often contain design elements characteristic of theseservices such emblems will probably not be a source ofconfusion.
Requests for additional copies of this publicationshould, be made through channels. Comments, includingcorrections of factual detail should, be transmitted promptly,and may be addror-sod directly to MILITARY IITTELLIG-ENCERESEARCH SECTION, 4? Hyde lark Sate, London, S.W.7

showed a more representative type, it 'is'no longer possible toclassify a division solely jy the appearar.ee of its emblem. Incase of highly specialized divisions, such as parachute ormountain divisions, the er.blem is likely to contain certain"trade" characteristics, tut even in these instances a generalrule cannot bo established.
Altl.0u.3h all c-'folors "re distinctly different, certainsimilarities between dcsjjr.s ^rc unavoidable, euj., "a windmill"has been identified for three different divisions: 9 SS Iz,198 Inf and 437 Inft The came applies to a nurbcr of divisionsusin.3 "crossed swords"o As e result, reports on designs whicharc not accurately 3r?w*ri or specifically described should betreated with caution*
It would servo no practical pvrpose to present alist of reasons underIyin3 the vrricus designs or dosisn types,therefore, v/ith a few exceptions, such explanations have beenomitted from section II. In view of rather frequent chair^es ofemblem designs (see prra^raph 4) it oust be emphasized that onlydocumentary c-vidence furnic-hos positive proof of an emblemidentification, and teat the date of the information is of noret han the us u n1 ir' p0rt arc e for evaluat ion purposes.
b) ColorThe original conception of many G-crrnan divisional
emblems called for the use of specific shades or the combinationof various colors, and this idea is still carried out in certaincases. Generally ,howevor, the shortage of paint has reduced,practical application to a single color within the range of thesix basic colors,
Yellow is the color of most panzer division emblems,

Mf! RSSIFlfflSi i a* M .6 8 W M Is 'ioSh as available the badgeswill be for cale in poGt exchanges, and it isintented to have a. limited nunber of such badgesin silver for distinguished cervices withinthe division B."Although this plan is based on ly on the decision of
this particular compandor, it is quite likely that otherdivisions with a distinguished combat record will have similarplans. As the creation of cs.p badges by a number of divisions(marked specificially in section II) furnishes supportinsevidence for this tendency, it deserves particular attentionin the light of post-war use of divisional emblems
4 O Changes and Variations
Tho identification of emblems has boon rendered somewhat difficult by the fact that they have been changed fromtime to time with the object of confusing Allied Intelligence.A wide-spread change of this kind was made at the end of 194-2.Although it would, therefore, seen? that pre-194-3 identifications(as narked in section II) would servo little more than historical interests, it is by no means certain that some of theseemblems have not been reintroduced, particularly in the ca.seof divisions of famous standing. In other instances the change
of emblem has coincided with the transfer of a division fromone theatre to another, and, more recently, with its conversionor change of coi zander. Adaptation of new emblem designs arestill frequent but not as wide-spread as they were prior to1944.
A rather elaborate and varying system of color anddesign application to denote different divisional sub-units byarm or branch of service or numerical progression has been
7/27/2019 German Divisional Emblems (1944)

found to be in uso, particularly by highly mobile divisions,(Sco: MIRS booklet K3LEF:C AND VEHICLE /'"ARKIEGS OF THE GERMANARMY, Auguct 1944)a Those practices will in Doat cases consistof minor additions to the original color scheme and can, althoughthey are of tactical value, be disregarded from a divisionalpoint of view since the// rre usually not of a permanentcharacter, and will not charge the basic elements of an individual orab1en.
3. 3ocu
Prior to i-arch 1943 the 3-eiran A m y used emblems withoutany but local restrictions. An OKW order of that time directedthe paint ins ou^ f emblems, either generally or In specificareas, but this order found only Uni ted compliance by theindividual divisions, particularly on the Eastern front. Apparently motivated by the consideration that the elements ofmorale and of divisional control over its equipment outweighedthat of security, the display of emblems was reinstated by anorder of the Chief of the General Staff, dated I larch 1944. Thisorder directed, the display of emblems as outlined in paragraph3, and divisional emblems (DivIs ionskonnzeichon) are again infull use since summer 1944. During largo-scale movements emblemsas well as unit nunbors (Truppentcilbozoichrump-;) are temporarilyobliterated. Some divisions have also carried out similarsecurity measures in combat zones, but all divisions, accordingto the order, oro required to mark their vehicles with emblemsin the communication zones and roar areas.
It is doubtful that large-scale deceptions, using afictitious onblem or that of another division, wore ever carriedout. Possibly, such disguises may have boon used locally by

t -VIsmallor units, but it is not Irnown if intelligence stunts ofthat type have been or,ployed on a divisional scale*
6 Srblems and Tret leal Symbols
The- most frequently encountered types of vehicle orpost markings rside from divisional or other unit emblems
are tactical symbols to derisnatc the a m or branch of service(see: G-ERi:AIT I'lLITAT-iY SYI:.:JC'LS, 1 April 1944), In contrast toemblems, tactical symbols do not furnish clues towards divisional identifications as all units in the G-c.rman Array employuniform tactical symbols. If used in conjunction with adivisional emblem, the tactical symbol is always distinctlyseparated Iron it, and does not form part of its design. Onlythe color of the symbol may, under certain conditions (seeparagraph 4) furnish information towards the numericaldesignation of divisional sub-units.
