German Swords and Daggers
German Swords and daggers were an big part of the German military during WW2. Germany capitalized on the offensive and defensive capabilities of aviation.
The potential of airpower was quickly recognized, and the Luftwaffe (Air Force) was established as a separate branch of the Armed Forces. Hitler, in an attempt to develop the embryonic Luftwaffe to the maximum extent consistent with the state of the art, designated World War I fighter ace Hermann Göring as both Commander in Chief of the Air Force and Minister of Aviation.

In the latter role, Göring was a member of the Cabinet and was responsible for coordinating and supervising all civil air matters. As the Commander in Chief of the Air Force, Reichsmarshal Göring was made responsible for the administration, training, development, procurement, and maintenance of the entire Luftwaffe.
Officers and Warrant Class NCOs carried German Sword. The swords were carried in the same manner as in the old German Army. that is to say, on a thin canvas belt worn under the coat with only one suspender and hook. The sword was suspended on one ring, the suspender strap emerging through a slit in the left tunic pocket. The swords had bright nickel plated knuckle bow guards and black grips bound with aluminium wire. The scabbards were black enamelled metal. The officers swords had a black roundel on each side of the grip, edged with silver and bearing the silver SS runes. The NCOs had their runes on the flat top of the pommel. The tops of the officers' scabbards had a silver interlaced design. Mounted troops carried sabres when on foot.
German Sword was carried on the saddle when it was mounted.
