Description
Deutsch: Moritz Ruhl Kunstverlag, Leipzig: "DEUTSCHE UNIFORMEN"
  1. Major der Schutzpolizei des Reiches (Paradeuniform)
  2. Hauptmann der Schutzpolizei der Gemeinden (Meldeanzug)
  3. Oberwachtmeister der Schutzpolizei des Reiches (Paradeanzug)
  4. Rev.-Oberwachtmeister der Wasserschutzpolizei (Dienstanzug)
  5. Hauptmann der Gendarmerie (Dienstanzug)
  6. Oberwachtmeister d. Verkehrsdienstes (Dienstanzug)
Ab dem Jahr 1936 wurde in Deutschland eine einheitliche Polizeiuniform eingeführt die lediglich Unterschiede an Biesen und Aufschlägen (weinrot Schutzpolizei der Gemeinden, grün Schutzpolizei des Reiches, orange Gendarmerie) aufwies.
Die Uniformen der Polizei wurden farblich dem generellen Erscheinungsbild des zentralistisch organisierten Staates nach und nach angeglichen (hellgrün und feldgrau), so dass (gewollt) eine hohe Ähnlichkeit mit den de:Uniformen der Wehrmacht entstand. Im Zuge der Militarisierung der Polizei wurden auch für die einzelnen Sparten (Dienstzweige) der neu geschaffenen Ordnungspolizei Waffenfarben eingeführt. Die Tschakos wurden jetzt statt der Polizeisterne mit den Wappen der Länder mit einem die ganze Frontseite einnehmenden Hoheitsadler mit Hakenkreuz versehen; Polizei-Offiziere trugen ihn in mittelbraunem statt schwarzem Leder.
Siehe Dienstgrad-Abzeichen bei Schutzpolizei des Reiches, der Gemeinden, Wasserschutzpolizei, Feuerschutzpolizei und Gendarmerie und Ordnungspolizei Waffenfarbe, auch Die deutsche Polizei zwischen 1935 und 1945.
Die Ordnungspolizei (OrPo, auch Orpo) bildete in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus das organisatorische Dach der uniformierten Polizeikräfte im Deutschen Reich. Sie wurde von Kurt Daluege geleitet und war dem Reichsführer SS und Chef der Deutschen Polizei Heinrich Himmler direkt unterstellt. Die OrPo gliederte sich ihrerseits in die Schutzpolizei (SchuPo), die Gemeindepolizeien und die Gendarmerie, später auch die Feuerwehr als Feuerlöschpolizei.

The collar patch and shoulderboards were backed, and the sleeve eagle (below the rank of Leutnant) embroidered, in truppenfarbe, a color-code which indicated the branch of police: green for Schutzpolizei (protection police) and police general officers, wine-red for Gemeindepolizei (municipal protection police), orange for rural Gendarmerie, carmine-red for fire brigades, gold for maritime police, light grey for administrative police.

The Ordnungspolizei (abbreviated OrPo, 'Order Police', or Grüne Polizei, 'green police') was the uniformed police force in Nazi Germany from 1936 to 1945. The Schutzpolizei des Reiches (SchuPo) was the State protection police, a branch of the Ordnungspolizei (Schutzpolizei is the German name for a uniformed police force). The Gemeindepolizei was the municipal protection police forces. A gendarmerie is a military force with law enforcement duties among the civilian population, and was the state rural police. The Feldgendarmerie was military field police units of the Wehrmacht.
