all-bull Posted January 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2020 I posted this in another section of this forum, but am still looking for information on it. Does anyone know what years it was used, how long, and/or how many people would have worn this? Any info at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

daniel griffin Posted January 29, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2020 OMGUS was in existence from Jan 1, 1946 - Dec 5, 1945, in 5 offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted January 30, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 30, 2020 Doubt a ton of GIs wouldve worn this, they wouldve had to buy it from a German shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted January 30, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 30, 2020 Learned something new with this one, whether 5 GIs wore it or 1,000. Interesting patch, previously unknown "unit" of the Army. Have only seen insignia for the OMG Hesse and Greater Hesse, both of which reported to OMGUS. OMGUS also had input into the ACCs. OMGUS lasted until 1949, am sure that was a typo. Thanks both to All-Bull and Dan G for the lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all-bull Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted January 30, 2020 This also came with an allied forces sports council badge which was only in existence from 1946 to 47 as well as some typical early occupation patches. Perhaps this patch also dates from that period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
