SS-Police regimental numbering system:

[Joe AVENT]

I have read that the next to last numbered police rifle regiment is number 38 and then it skips all the way to number 50(?). I am not able to arrive at a logical conclusion as to why the disparity. If anybody can shed some light I would be quite appreciative.

There is a number of german police regiment which held a name and not a number

Polizei regiment Nagel
+
4 south tirolian polizei units :
Polizei regiment Schlanders
Polizei regiment Brixen
Polizei regiment Bozen
Polizei regiment Alpenvorland
+
5 Polizei Freiw. rgt Kroatien numered 1 to 5 created on 44
+
Miliz-Regiment de Maria (Pol)

38 + 11 = 49

This seems like a logical answer since the Germans are methodical in their numbering assignments. Thanks again!
