History
The Technische Nothilfe (Technical Emergency Help), often abbreviated to TN or TeNo, was founded on September 30, 1919. Its stated purpose was to maintain vital infrastructure and facilities, and protect them during a time of economical and political turmoil. When the economy improved and political tensions became less pronounced during the mid to late 1920s, the TeNo was able to shift its focus to disaster relief, roadside assistance, and general civil defence, including civil air protection. In 1936, the organisation came under the control of the German police as an auxiliary force of the Ordnungspolizei (Order Police). During the war, TeNo units were deployed to virtually all occupied countries and front lines for technical support.
The TeNo Enlisted Ranks Cloth Cap Eagle was introduced on December 1, 1936. It is almost identical to the TeNo sleeve eagle insignia, but the eagle is facing to the viewer's right. The insignia is usually machine-woven. The silver-coloured eagle can be found on patches in different colours, ranging from blue to navy blue to dark blue.
