The five button SS hbt tunic did not exist.When you say two cuff titles being worn at the same,what did you want to portray?,SS war reporters could wear their SS-kriegsberichter cuff titles with the divisional cuff title they were assigned to .Feldgendarmerie of the LAH could wear their FG cuff titles below the adolf hitler cuff title,men assigned to training schools could the name of the school(eg Tolz)and their unit CT,but only at the school.John

I cannot say I've seen this done,some one who was transferred from TK to LAH would be considered a 'step up' and I think wearing any other cuff title other than 'Adolf hitler' would not be allowed.I have trawled through my copy of Cloth insignia of the SS by J.angolia and not found any examples of such a case.When the 'Hitler Jugend' div; was formed,they transferred officers and nco's from the LSSAH they kept their original insignia.John

I found this in another one of my books and is the only exeption because the two units were closely linked and was not used for long.
