The anniversary Max figure came out with two, One Yellow Kreta and One Bright Green Fallschirmjäger Rgt 3. My question is, can both of these be worn on the tunic or just one or the other? I did a topic search here, surfed the web and checked my reference books but nothing (unless I've overlooked it) was noted as to multiple cuff titles being allowed or not.

The green cufftitle is a division or unit title similar to the GD, and SS cufftitles.

Is there a specific way/method to be worn, one atop the other... one right, the Regiment title, one left, the award? I'm still looking for pics but all I see is the Kreta title and worn on the left per my reference material.

Interesting note to see the Kreta and the Afrika titles together. This helps me quite a lot. "we wore what we had" by J.T.P.- Staff Sgt, 11th Airborne 43-44 & 8th Army 44-45 Air Force Res. 50-51 L.A.

The fallschirmjager in the lower left picture is a classic studio photograph of how NOT to wear the Kreta and Afrika cuff titles. The order should be reversed with the Kreta cuff title on the bottom and the Afrika cuff title on the top. Gerry You can never have too many fallschirmjagers!

The Afrika title should not be confused with the Afrika Korps title which was a division title where the Afrika one was an award

Haven't seen the Afrika one yet in 1/6th Thanks again for the help fellas "we wore what we had" by J.T.P.- Staff Sgt, 11th Airborne 43-44 & 8th Army 44-45 Air Force Res. 50-51 L.A.

Interesting to note the different placement of the Ground Combat Badge and Parachute Qualification badge. Seems to have varied from man to man.
