English: Collar patch rank insignia for railway officials'/employees' in the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB) of Nazi Germany.

www.warrelics.eu:

Collar patches and shoulder boards were worn together. Shoulder boards identified the exact pay group, whereas the collar patches identified broader ranges of pay group levels.
The system for the collar patches was:
* Arbeiter [workers/laborers] = winged wheel with Swastika, no oak leaves, no piping
* Officials of pay groups 17a - 12 (i.e. the einfacher Dienst [basic-level career]) = winged wheel with Swastika, no oak leaves, gold/blue piping
* Officials of pay groups 11 - 8 and 7a (i.e. the mittlerer Dienst [mid-level career]) = winged wheel with Swastika, cluster of 2 oak leaves, gold/blue piping
* Officials of pay groups 7 - 6 (i.e. the gehobener Dienst [elevated career]) = winged wheel with Swastika, cluster of 4 oak leaves, gold piping
* Officials of pay group 5 and higher (i.e. the höherer Dienst [high-grade career]) = winged wheel with Swastika, cluster of 8 oak leaves, gold piping
(Angestellte [employees] with the right to wear the uniform wore collar patches with the winged wheel and piping, but no oak leaves. Employees in salary groups [Vergütungsgruppen; not identical to the officials' pay groups [Besoldungsgruppen] 1 - 5 wore gold piping and 6 - 7 wore blue/gold piping.)
All of these collar patches came in versions in a "vertical" and a "horizontal" orientation. "Vertical" was for wear on open-collar tunics; "horizontal" - as seen here - for closed-collar tunics.
