Uniform removed the 'Stabshelferin des Heeres' cufftitle. Stabshelferinen des Heeres were female auxiliaries serving as support staff (clerical workers) in the Wehrmacht Heer administration services.
Woven cufftitle in the so-called BeVo weave pattern in grey on green rayon, showing the machine woven, Gothic, script 'Stabshelferin des Heeres'.
The cuffitle was to be worn on the lower left sleeve of the uniform. Folded and sewn together as was applied to the uniform. Shows signs of age and staining, albeit still in excellent condition.
Women served in the Wehrmacht in a number of different auxiliaries like
the reserve army as signal auxiliaries with the field army, the air
force, and the navy. Most of the volunteer Wehrmacht auxiliaries had
been members of the League of German Girls (Bund Deutscher Mädel, BDM),
the female branch of the Hitler Youth, which strongly encouraged girls
to enlist for military service. The BDM girls aligned themselves with
Nazi ideology and were willing to support the state and its military in
any way necessary, which led to thousands of young and single women
volunteering for military service. NSDAP promoted voluntary female military service to replace men from
communications and clerical areas so they could be deployed to the front
lines. However, women in the auxiliaries were not given military status, to not damage the morale of both soldiers and civilians because of the deployment of women in the military.
