We have a patch type peice that belonged to my grandfather and he was in World War II. It has a medical symbol and a capital T on coat of arms looking picture at top with word Tampere across the bottom. Is white with silver trim and shaped like a small flag with points on bottom. Just trying to figure out what it represents.
Most photos show Italian and German POW's wearing their uniforms. I'm sure many had to have new uniforms or clothes issued to them so they could work OR because they were captured in a desert uniform and needed warmer clothes. After Italy surrendered in Sept 1943, the Allies in Italy began to use some friendly Italians to haul supplies by mules or as translators. Many were issued British or American uniforms or clothes and some had a Green patch (about 4 inches & oval) with ITALY in white. This patch signified that they were friendly troops but were not soldiers who had security clearance.

In World War II, a patch with three gold bars typically indicated the rank of a Colonel in the United States Army. This insignia was worn on the uniform to signify the officer's rank and authority. Colonels often commanded regiments or served in high-level staff positions, playing crucial roles in military operations.
Members of the Gestapo didn't normally wear uniforms, unless they were operating in operational areas where wearing an uniform afforded protection to the wearer. In such circumstances, members of the Gestapo wore SS uniforms with a blank right collar patch, an SD sleeve diamond, and police shoulder straps to indicate their rank.
A sergeant typically wears a chevron patch on their uniform, which consists of an upward-pointing V shape. The design and color of the patch can vary depending on the military branch and country, but it usually features stripes that indicate the rank of the sergeant. In some organizations, additional elements like insignias or badges may accompany the chevron to denote specific roles or qualifications.
Because in military use, ie. on uniforms, planes, tanks, etc, the flag is pictured so that the stars always lead (as if it were flying from a pole that you were carrying with you).The camouflage uniforms are a a military tribute and since the patch is on the right sleeve it is situated in reverse. If it was on the left sleeve it would look the way you are used to seeing it.
The flag patch is typically worn on the right arm of military uniforms in the United States. This placement allows the flag to appear as if it is flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. In some other contexts, such as law enforcement or civilian attire, the placement may vary, but the right arm is the most common position for the patch.
The SLB patch on the Philadelphia Phillies uniforms stands for "Sandy Louie Boucher," honoring the team's longtime clubhouse manager who passed away in 2021.

This gesture reflects the organization’s respect and appreciation for his contributions to Phillies baseball.

It's there to reduce friction. You'll also see them in the armpits of some uniforms.
