>>>>>>>>>>One more question: "Litze"--that refers to the bars/bands/patch on the front neck collar, left and right, that define the rank? What exactly is "Waffenfarbe", the colors of the Litze? <<<<<<<<<<

The kragenspiegel of the Wehrmacht did not denote rank. These were found on sleeve, and shoulderpads.

Waffenfarbe wasthe piping around the shoulderpads, for example blue=medical, brown = sicherheitsdienst, white = infantry, etc.

You probably will find a thread or two (or three) on the forum, with the search feature.
