Qualification was later extended to include any SS personnel who were former members of Nazi Security services, the Ordnungspolizei and Wehrmacht, if they fulfilled certain conditions. Those who wore the chevron were nicknamed Winkelträger () in German. This referred to the shape of the chevron and also that Winkelträger were supporting the regime, just as a bracket supports a shelf.
