WWII GERMAN POLICE EAGLE -
The German police force was a paramilitary organization during Hitler's Third Reich. Outside of providing
protection they also kept track of any groups who opposed Hitler. As the war came to an end, the police
was mobilized to provide the last line of defense against invading forces.
The item featured on this page is a WWII German Police eagle. Of metal construction. The design consists of
an oval wreath with an eagle placed in the center. The eagle has the wings spread and is facing to the left.
It is clutching a circular wreath with a swastika in the center.
These police eagles are placed on the front of a hat.
The back of the German police eagle reveals two thin, horizontal bronze prongs. They are used to secure the
eagle to the hat.
This particular police eagle does not have any manufaturing markings. Some examples were marked.
