"So they may or may not have been "officers" in the army, although most US GI's either didn't know the difference or didn't care to distinguish the difference "

After looking at this I can certainly believe you!

After doing some research on this fine site and other places on the internet it appears that the police unit markings on my father's Luger translate roughly to:

Schutzpolitzei of Hanover 2nd District Item 8

It's amazing what you can learn about these "pieces of history"!
