Original Wehrmacht German officer’s tunic (Hauptmann)

Original Wehrmacht German officer’s tunic that belonged to a Hauptmann (Captain) in the Heer (Wehrmacht).

The tunic belonged to a military official or administrative officer, known as a Wehrmachtbeamter or a member of the Heeresverwaltung (Army Administration).

Key details on the shoulder board: The “HV” monogram—the metal letters in the center of the board stand for Heeresverwaltung (Army Administration).

Rank stars: The two gold stars (so-called “pips”), combined with the braided pattern, indicate an officer rank equivalent to Hauptmann (Captain) in the regular army. Within the administration, this rank was typically designated as Stabszahlmeister (Staff Paymaster/Accountant) or Heeresverwaltungsinspektor.

Colors (Waffenfarbe): The dark green stripe and backing represent the branch color for military officials, while the white piping (secondary color) specifies that the individual belonged to the administrative or financial branch (Intendantur).
