hi guys Im starting to make a "mountain troops layout" and I have a "gebirgsjager cloth badge" and a "Scharfschuetzen-Abzeichen" the sniper badge it says that it should be wear (The badge was to be worn on the lower right sleeve of the tunic above the cuffs. According to the Kriegsmarine regulation dated January 3rd, 1945 an awarding unit was to request 2 badges for each sniper form the OKM Mar Wehr/ Tr II vk. However, after all German snipers in Soviet captivity were executed at once the Oberkommando order that before becoming a POW one had to remove and conceal the badge.)
on this page http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/war_bad ... sniper.htm

Acording to the books i have read they go in the same place, if you are wearing the gj cloth titles on the tunic, wear the marksmans lanyard.
If it is a combat uniform you are aiming for then the sniper badge,and the sniper log book where left at the base, if you are caught by the enemy with them then you are screwed, if you are caught as a normal infantry soldier you have far more chance. This isnt "Regulation" but it does seem to be common, if not standard practice.
If you are aiming for a "Parade" look, GJ kit with sniper badge and landyard.
I know about that they reaped of the sniper badge from the arm and trowed away the scopes before get captured I just think it is a nice badge and not very common too (cuz that) and I have a copy one so It would be nice to wear it specially when Im a "scout" and in some near future a sniper on my team and I whant to wear it in a right way since I dont found anypics

I think it most likely wasnt worn on field kit very often.
For the same reason very few soldiers wore the 'anti-partisan' badge on active service.
I'll check
