[edit] Misunderstanding removed

I removed the sentence though the Luftwaffe does make a slight difference between officers and non-commissioned service members with white stripes on the ordonance uniform of officers and yellow stripes on the blue ordonance uniform{{clarifyme|What's an "ordonance uniform"?}} of non-commissioned ranks{{clarifyme|Where do the stripe appear?}}. because it contains a severe misunderstanding. What the author saw was the silver resp. dark-gold cord around the collar of the "blue" uniform which indicates officers resp. NCO's. (Generals: gold.) This is not restricted to the air force but also used in the army. This cord lies inside the waffenfarbe-coloured cord which runs around the shoulder board.

However, it must be said that the waffenfarbe was indeed used as cord around the collar - and on the outer trouser seams - but only for enlisted ranks and these cords were abolished in 1974 when I was a soldier myself. Wschroedter 00:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
