A soldier with 2 stripes on each arm?

A Sergeant has three stripes in the US military and a Corporal has two (if the stripes are located on the upper arm). If the stripes are located on the lower arm and are better described as slashes (just above the wrist) those are indicators of time in the service. Each slash represents 3 years in the Army and 4 years per slash in the Marine Corps.


What did the gestapo look like?

Generally speaking, members of the Gestapo wore civilian clothing unless they needed the protection of a military uniform when working in operational areas. In that case, they wore an SS uniform in field-grey colour. Their rank was indicated by police-style shoulder straps, and by their SS-equivalent rank insignia worn on the right-hand collar patch. The left hand collar batch was plain. On the lower left sleeve, they wore a black diamond, outlined in silver thread, bearing the initials 'SD'.

The service stripes were always worn on the US uniform on the lower Left cuff to denote lenght of time in service. These stripes varied slightly from WW1 through today's uniform but not very much.
