Luftwaffe Obergefreiter sleeve chevron

Enhance your collection with this authentic Luftwaffe Obergefreiter sleeve chevron.

The Luftwaffe was the aerial-warfare branch of the Wehrmacht before and during World War II. Obergefreiter is an enlisted rank of the German and Swiss militaries which dates from the 19th century. In today's Bundeswehr, every Gefreiter is normally promoted to Obergefreiter after six months, and this sleeve chevron was specifically for the enlisted men in the aerial troops of the Luftwaffe. 

This chevron represents the rank of Obergefreiter within the Luftwaffe during World War II.

The darkblue wool background provides a striking contrast to the aluminum litzen, reflecting the standard insignia for the Obergefreiter rank.
