I have spent a while looking through Angolia/ Schmildt's "Kriegsmarine Uniform and Tradition" series ( RJ Bender) and have not found anything on the uniform worn by Doctors / Medical Staff .
Can anyone give me any info on this subject , badges , style of uniform , ranks etc ?
This is for a friend who is considering buying a Kgm uniform made up in style of a Doctor.
Advice and help would be much appreciated.
If you have any plates , photos etc , please pm me and I will send you my email address.
Thank you in advance.

I have a scan of a picture of Edgar's brother Eric when he got married. he was a Sanitator on a ship. Edgar can't remember the name of the ship other than it was sunk in the Med. Eric survived the sinking but was killed 4 days before the end of the war. In the pic he is wearing the dress jacket with all the buttons on it. I can post it if anyone is interested

I guess if he was a doctor he would have been an officer.
So, he would have had officer's (silver) epaulettes with a gold staff/snake device on top of each epaulette. These are quite often seen on Germany ebay, to be honest. I'll dig through my pics to see if I have one stored.
The example above is that of a feldwebel, but the gold medical device is identical.

Well spotted, I missed that.
However, it's actually a photo I recently downloaded from Germany eBay. I quite often do that for reference purposes.
