Need to find out more info on the womens uniforms

Off top of my head I can't think which did wear cufftitles and which didn't

is that what you mean? so using a book to note them

Kriegsmarine had their own helferin ones (marinehelferin), reichs frauenschaft did (reichsfrauenschaft), reichsschule (reichsschule-ss), zollhelferin (same as male though it doesn't say it was common place), wirtschaftshelferin (wirtschaftsheferin/des heeres), nacchrichtenhelferin (NH des heers, Stab des NH, )

How accurate that is I don't know, I have seen lots of pics with cuff titles in but sometimes they hard to read

. I've only ever seen the marinehelferin ones at collecters fairs and the above info is from the osprey book if anyones interested ....

Oh and the unfirom looks like that of the SS-Helferinnen, picture is almost identical to that in the osprey book bar the cuff title

As I recall, SS Helferin use the "reichsschule-ss" until qualifying, then the simple "Helferin" cufftitle.
Photographs in our collection show either style, none and in one instance both.
(Possibly an old hand brought back to show the recruits?)

Back on thread, my son, daughter and I are members of the same group.
In GD there is a mum, dad and son also...........

FYI, At Belters the BBC film crew were interested in doing a piece on families within Axis re-enactment, but we smiled and said no.

Not a good picture, but strange. I can find lots of me and Lou, Lou and Andy, and me and Andy.
None with all three!
