The Gemeindepolizei or Gemeinden der Schutzpolizei (Municipal Police) performed police functions in small towns and villages. They used the color carmine.
The shoulder boards of the German Police (Polizei Schulterstücke) indicated the rank and unit of the wearer. The Police of the Third Reich was unified under the command of the Reichsführer-SS, Heinrich Himmler, from 1936 onward, and was divided into specialties according to function or field of activity. Based on the color of the shoulder boards, one could identify the corps to which they belonged.
