WWII German Nurnberg Fire Police Blouse
The Feuerschutzpolizei or Fire Protection Police was formed in 1938-39 in the IIIrd Reich and attached to the Ordnungspolizei when the municipal fire brigades were transferred to the national police. Gradually the traditional red and blue uniforms were replaced by the green police uniforms and police ranks.
This early blue uniform is for an NCO, wachmeister in the Fire Police as evidenced by the collar and shoulder ranks and stationed in Nurnburg based on the sleeve eagle. There were units in 86 German cities as well as 6 mobile firefighting regiments.
This blouse is in excellent all original condition with correct ribbon bar with combat and police service. It is actually a fairly scarce uniform with only about 12,500 members.
