English: Chart showing diamond shaped cloth patches (German: Ärmelabzeichen, Ärmelrauten) worn as insignia on the lower left sleeve of the uniform tunics of the Waffen-SS and other units of SS (Schutzstaffel) in Nazi Germany, during the Second World War around 1940:
  • Specialty/trade badges (Dienststellungsabzeichen) for enlisted men and NCOs
    • Position/specialty (Dienststellung); Sleeve insignia (Ärmelabzeichen)
    • Administration, doctor, news media, medical (Verwaltung, Arzt, Nachrichten, Sanität)
etc.
SS uniforms used a variety of insignia, the most standard of which were collar patches, to denote rank, and shoulder knots (which acted as shoulder boards), to denote both rank and position, along with sleeve cuff titles and "sleeve diamond" patches, to indicate membership in specific branches of the SS.
By the end of 1938, the SS had also adopted a new insignia feature of sleeve diamonds worn on the bottom of the left sleeve. Between 1939 and 1940, the SS expanded its cuffband and sleeve diamond system into a vast array of over 30 cuffbands and more than 12 sleeve diamonds.
Sleeve Diamonds worn by the SS during the 3rd Reich period were authorized in October 1935. They consisted of letters, symbols, or insignia embroidered on black wool. The embroidery was done in aluminum thread for officers and silver gray thread for NCOs and enlisted personnel. Diamonds could be edged with aluminum twisted cord for officers or black/aluminum twisted cord for NCOs.
