(*) It is strongly encouraged that you purchase two leather belts. One should be kept shined for use as a parade or “walking out” belt, the other will be kept with your field gear attached. The extra belt will keep you from having to remove all of your field gear when only a belt and bayonet are required to be worn.

(**) Having an extra SS belt buckle is encouraged, having one for field use and one for parade or “walking out” dress.

(***) All insignia can be sewn on your uniforms by the Unit’s Master Tailor (Schneidermeister). Under no circumstances should you ever use glue, a hot glue gun, or a liquid adhesive to attach your insignia.
