History

Cuff titles could serve several different purposes. They were used as commemorative or traditions insignia, or identifying the wearer as part of an elite unit. They were also used as career/role insignia. Some cuff titles were awarded to soldiers taking part in certain campaigns, making them the equivalent of a campaign medal. These are more accurately known as sleeve bands.

Cuff titles were mostly worn on the right sleeve, however, there were many exceptions to this rule.

This cuff title is moss-green with the light green Gothic letters “Stabshelferin des Heeres”, with a top and bottom stripe with a thin inside line each. The version for leaders is identical, but golden-yellow on black. It was worn on the lower left sleeve.
