The Honour Chevron for the Old Guard, ((ドイツ語:Ehrenwinkel der Alten Kämpfer)), was a Nazi Party decoration worn by members of the SS. The silver chevron, which was worn on the upper sleeve on the right arm, was authorised by Adolf Hitler in February 1934. All members of the SS, who had joined the ''Allgemeine-SS'', NSDAP or any other party organisation prior to 30 January 1933 were entitled to wear the insignia. After the ''Anschluss'' in Austria, the Nazi Party authorized that the award could be worn by all Austrians who had joined the Austrian ''National Socialist Workers' Party'' (DNSAP) prior to 18 February 1938. Qualification was later extended to include any SS personnel who were former members of Nazi Security services, the ''Ordnungspolizei'' and ''Wehrmacht'', if they fulfilled certain conditions.〔 Those who wore the chevron were nicknamed ''Winkelträger'' ((英語:brackets)) in German. This referred to the shape of the chevron and also that ''Winkelträger'' were supporting the regime, just as a bracket supports a shelf. ==Notable recipients== *Kurt Daluege *Josef Dietrich *Adolf Eichmann *Richard Glücks *Amon Göth *Jakob Grimminger *Karl Hanke *Paul Hausser *Heinrich Himmler *Reinhard Heydrich *Friedrich Jeckeln *Ernst Kaltenbrunner *Herbert Kappler *Emil Maurice *Josef Mengele *Arthur Nebe *Oswald Pohl *Julius Schreck *Hermann Senkowsky *Jürgen Stroop *Karl Wolff 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honour Chevron for the Old Guard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
