Regulations dictated that the national eagle was to be worn on almost all headgear and on the right breast of almost all uniforms with a few minor exceptions. Officer\u2019s ranks generally utilized hand embroidered breast eagles as opposed to the machine embroidered breast eagles as utilized by EM\/NCO ranks. Of Note: Machine woven and even metal alloy national eagles were also utilized in limited quantities. Also Of Note: Officers holding ranks of Generalmajor to Generalfeldmarschall and Reichsmarschall G\u00f6ring utilized gold colored accoutrements including breast eagles as opposed to the silver versions worn by all other ranks.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"envira-gallery-wrap-20664\" class=\"envira-gallery-wrap envira-lazy-loading-enabled
