I am offering a Original WW2 Era German Geschwader Hindenburg EM/NCO’S Cufftitle. The Geschwader Hindenburg, (Hindenburg Squadron), Commemorative Honor cufftitle was one of a series of commemorative honor cufftitles introduced by the Luftwaffe, (Air-{Weapon}, Force), to honor fallen comrades and heroic pilots of WWI. Regulations for the introduction of the Geschwader Hindenburg cufftitle were initiated by Hitler on April 20TH 1936 and the cufftitle was officially introduced on May 6TH 1936 for wear by all personnel serving with Fliegergeschwader Greifswald, (Flight Squadron Greifswald). The cufftitle was to be worn by all ranks on the lower right sleeve of the service tunic and officer’s were also authorized wear of the cufftitle on the lower right sleeve of the flight blouse and the optional white summer tunic. Officer’s cufftitle were produced in hand embroidered, silver/aluminum, wire threads while EM/NCO’s cufftitles were produced in machine embroidered, silver/grey threads. Of Note: During the war the unit was renamed Kampfgeschwader 152 , (Bomber Wing 152) and eventually Kampfgeschwader 1, but personnel retained the right to wear the cufftitle. The honorary name on the cufftitle was to commemorate REICHS Präsident and Generalfeldmarschall Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg. The Cufftitle is about 1.5\" tall,19.25\" long, woven, deep navy blue, wool construction, EM/NCO’s cufftitle with machine embroidered, Gothic styled script, \"Geschwader Hindenburg\", in light grey threads. The cufftitle has the typical opened back construction with machine stitched seams to both the top and bottom edges.
