Tri Shield

What is the purpose of Black, white, and red shield on the German World War 2 Wehrmacht helmets?
I noticed that the helmets of the Wehrmacht German during World War 2 Tri had a small color patch on the right side of their helmets. Does anyone know what the shield signified. Was it a regimental symbol or symbol Country German? Click on the link below for an image of what I am asking about. Thank you. I know that much about World War 2, but do not know what that means shield. Http: / / www.replicagunsswords.com/weapons_gallery/product.php?productid=1962&cat=362&page=1
It, as the tricolor cockade on the cap, is a tricolor national flag, based on the colors of Imperial Germany, the shield has been introduced in 30 years, originally on the left. It was supposed to be removed before the invasion of France in the 1940s. http://books.google.com/books?id=ru6H4CQmaHkC&pg=PA32&lpg=PA32&dq=german+imperial+colours+wehrmacht&source=bl&ots=mUjC906ie7&sig=45hFWd4R3jgzzaa6TiWSReCjVOI&hl=en&ei=laqTSrSCDIasjAee2d37DQ&sa=X&oi Book_result = & ct = result & resnum = 9 # v = onepage & q =%% German 20imperial 20colours 20wehrmacht% & f = false
