German Deutsche Reichsbahn Railway Workers Collar Tabs - Matching Set!
This original German WWII Deutsche Reichsbahn railway workers collar tab matching set consists of wool Kragenspiegel fitted with metal winged wheel devices mounted on dark blue to black wool backing, complete with the correct alternating yellow and blue double twisted piping. The tabs remain well matched and display honest service wear consistent with a U.S. veteran bring-back, while retaining strong structure and clear detail throughout the insignia. Construction and materials are correct for wartime Reichsbahn issue, with the metal devices firmly affixed and the wool bases intact.
When the NSDAP came to power in 1933, Germany's national railway system was administered by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, a civilian yet uniformed organization essential to state and wartime logistics. Reichsbahn personnel were classified by pay groups rather than military rank, with collar tabs serving as key indicators of position and service category. Uniforms and insignia evolved multiple times during the Third Reich, and collar tab patterns were formally revised in 1935 and again in later wartime updates. Railway workers played a critical role throughout the war, handling the movement of troops, equipment, and supplies across Germany and occupied territories, making Reichsbahn insignia an important but often overlooked component of WWII collecting.
