Summary[edit]

Description
English: Copy of a page from the Uniformen-Markt No. 4 / February 15, 1939, a journal for the uniform and insignia trade in Nazi Germany, published by Verlag Otto Dietrich, Berlin:
  • Uniform regulations 1939 for personnel working in the national postal service of Germany (German: Reichspost)
  • "Do you know the official uniforms of the Imperial Post? The summary of the regulations from February 3, 1939, in the official wording."
(German: Kennen Sie die Dienstkleidung der Reichspost? Die Zusammenfassung der Vorschriften vom 3. 2. 1939 im amtlichen Wortlaut)
German postal, telegraph and telephone services together with some aspects of radio services were combined in an autonomous organisation which functioned under the designation 'Deutsche Reichspost'.
Male employees who were fully qualified functionaries were entitled and obliged to wear the full official Reichspost uniform when on duty. The uniform consisted of a dark blue jacket and black trousers. Rank was shown by the use of collar patches of which there were a series of twenty different collar patch designs. Orange was used as the piping colour.
Women were employed within the German Postal Service in a number of capacities. Before 1940 those of them who were not qualified as full functionaries, that is qualified Postal officials entitled to wear the full regulation uniform, were only permitted to wear the 'Reichspost' arm band, the peaked cap and rain cape when on duty. After 1940 however, a uniform was introduced for their use. This consisted of a blue jacket worn with the woman's own civilian blouse, matching coloured skirt or slacks and worn with a dark blue beret and black shoes. No Postal insignia other than the 'Deutsche Reichspost' arm badge was worn and only the small white metal cap eagle appeared by law on the orange piped beret.
The Postal Protection Service or Postschutz was organised in March 1933. It was given the responsibility of protecting and maintaining the security of all post offices and postal establishments together with all mail, telephone and tele- graph services throughout Germany. Prior to 1942 the Postschutz was under the control of the Reich Ministry of Post and Telegraph. In March 1942, upon the approval of Hitler, the Postschutz was incorporated into the Allgemeine-SS and was then designated as SS-Postschutz. Members of the Postschutz wore uniforms of field-grey with orange as the colour used for their collar patches and special arm insignia. After the organisation was taken over by the General-SS the same uniform continued to be worn but with SS style collar insignia.
  • The Uniformen-Markt was a German military magazine published semi-monthly from December 1, 1934 (monthly until issue 2.1935), primarily focusing on the entire uniform, equipment, flags, vestments, orders, and insignia industry of the Wehrmacht and the National Socialist sports associations. From 1943 to 1945, it was published semi-monthly as the Deutsche Uniformen-Zeitschrift by the Berliner Kriegsgemeinschaftsverlag before being finally discontinued.
