    • Stahlhelm with Nazi Ordnungspolizei Eagle decal
    • Green Police tunic (Waffenrock), single-breasted, with brown collar and high cuffs, trimmed with green piping, two side pockets and two box-pleated patch breast
      • Embroidered bars/double braids (Doppellitze) on collar patches/tabs (Kragenspiegel)

    • Uniform belt with police enlisted buckle featuring the Wehrmacht motto Gott mit uns
    • Pistol case/holster
  • SS-Sturmmann of the Sicherheitsdienst (SD, Security Service), the intelligence agency of the Schutzstaffel (SS) and the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany:
    • Hight-fronted peaked visor cap (Schirmmütze) of the SS (Schutzstaffel).
      • SS style silver Hoheitszeichen/Hoheitsadler, SS' version of the Nazi Germany imperial eagle, the German national emblem featuring an art deco Reichsadler with expanded wings clutching a swastika inside a circular oak wreath
      • SS' silver skull and crossbones/death's head (Totenkopf) cap insignia, adopted from the Totenkopfhusaren, the 5th Hussar/Life-Guard Cavalry Regiment of Prussia
      • Chin strap
      • Piping around the cap crown and cap band in corps colour (Waffenfarbe)
    • Open lapel cut, single-breasted tunic
      • SS Nazi German Imperial Eagle/embroidered sleeve eagle (SS Hoheitszeichen, Ärmelhoheitsabzeichen, 'national emblem for the sleeve', Ärmeladler, 'sleeve eagle', Ärmelvogel, 'sleeve bird') on left upper arm
      • SD sleeve diamond insignia (SD Raute) on lower left sleeve
    • Uniform belt with SS buckle featuring the SS motto Meine Ehre heißt Treue
    • Pistol case/holster
The majority of SS personnel wore a variation of the Waffen-SS uniform or the grey-green SS service tunic. Branches with personnel that normally would wear civilian attire in the Reich (such as the Gestapo and Kripo) were issued grey-green SS uniforms in occupied territory to avoid being mistaken for civilians.

In front: Visor cap insignia model 1942 for Statspolitiet, a National Socialist armed police force that consisted of Norwegian officials after Nazi German pattern 1941-1945.
