TeNo EM/NCO’S Cufftitle (Armelstreiffen)
The TeNo, Technischen Nothilfe, (Technical Emergency Corps), was originally established in September 1919, of trained, voluntary, civilian personnel to maintain and repair essential services in the event of a natural disaster or emergency.
Many of its personnel were ex-service men and a large amount of them had some type of specialized technical training which was key to its mandate.
TeNo was a civilian organization administered under the Minister of the Interior, until mid-1939 when it became an official State organization under control of the Police which in turn was controlled by the SS.
With this change in status a small nucleus of salaried Officials were employed to run the organization.
As the war dragged on TeNo, became more and more a para-military organization with its direction becoming more controlled by the Waffen-SS.
When TeNo personnel were attached to army units for assistance they were issued with one of two distinctive cufftitles with one cufftitle being worked in bright silver/aluminum threads for wear on the field-grey service tunic and the other cufftitle worked in matte silvery/grey threads for wear on the fatigue and work tunic.
Roughly, 39 mm wide, 43,5 cm long, ribbed black rayon construction cufftitle with BeVo woven Gothic script, "Technische Nothilfe" in matte silvery/grey cotton threads.
Both the top and bottom edges of the cufftitle are bordered in vertically woven matte silvery/grey cotton threads.
The reverse of the cufftitle has the typical loose, vertical threads from the weaving process.
The cufftitle is in overall excellent condition.
