History

Cuff titles could serve several different purposes. They were used as commemorative or traditions insignia, or identifying the wearer as part of an elite unit. They were also used as career/role insignia. Some cuff titles were awarded to soldiers taking part in certain campaigns, making them the equivalent of a campaign medal. These are more accurately known as sleeve bands.

Cuff titles were mostly worn on the right sleeve, however, there were many exceptions to this rule.

This cuff title was introduced on November 12, 1943 for the Infantry Regiment 199. After the unit was disbanded, it was given to Grenadier Regiment 19 on August 31, 1944. “List” was the name of a Bavarian Infantry Regiment that Hitler was part of during the First World War.
It is a dark blue-green band with light-grey Latin letters, with a light-grey top and bottom stripe. It was worn on the left sleeve.
