Carl :

Your statement about the scharfschützen award should be directed to wehrmacht-awards.com correct ? I have never heard nor seen an actual photo of the award on the sleeve of a German soldier. I would think if by chance captured it would be a "dead" give-away......sorry for the pun, but it would probably give this end result.
Volkbert, didn't the WB in Gold / requirements were the same for all branches of service and not just for the army as well ?
