Technische Nothilfe (TeNo - Technical Emergency Corps) was an organization to cope with emergency conditions (natural disaster, etc.). Shortly before the war it became part of the police organization. During the war TeNo was also incorporated into Wehrmacht ranks to cope with various technical difficulties.

Here is a cuff title of the Technische Nothilfe worn on Wehrmacht uniform.

A period photo (16 Armee in France) of the cuff title in wear - note the TeNo eagle and Torpedotaucherabzeichen (blue-orange like Kriegsmarine?), because as seen in this photo, the man was a diver!

(photos and the arm band was separately acquired).
