WW 173 German schutzpolizei on parade 1940 officer

The new order established in Germany since 1933, militarized virtually all public services in the state.

In a country that is already very militarized.

The schutzpolizei of this series are members of the municipal police, although many of them ended up being framed in campaign police units in the different fronts that were opened throughout the war.

If uniform is very similar to the rest of the army, but retains a warrior or waffenrock with more buttons than the army.

The Eagle. Surrounded by oak leaves is the emblem of the police and is worn on the left arm.

The police shako comes from the headwear worn by the battalions of Prussian hunters and other landers during the Prussian War.
