On November 4TH 1941 regulations dictated that issue of the Afrikakorps cufftitle was to be extended to include the "Afrika" armoured group. Wear of the cufftitle was permitted when personnel were on furlough in Europe but when they transferred out of the North African theater the cufftitle was to be removed.
