Luftwaffe Oberst colonel officers pioneer collar tabs

Discover the craftsmanship of these Luftwaffe Oberst colonel officers pioneer collar tabs.

Oberst is a colonel officer rank, and these collar tabs were for the pioneer, a soldier employed to perform engineering and construction tasks. The term is in principle similar to sapper or combat engineer. The Luftwaffe was the aerial-warfare branch of the Wehrmacht before and during World War II.

The combination of black wool and silver thread creates a striking contrast, reflecting the high rank and specialization of the pioneer units.

These collar tabs are a perfect addition for collectors and historians looking to enhance their collection of Luftwaffe insignia.
