RARE

Original RARE WWII Waffen SS TEMPORARY CAMP GUARDS COLLAR TAB. (Kragenpatte) Certified. In August 1929 the SS, Schutz Staffel, (Protection Squad), incorporated the wear of rank collar tabs on the left side of the collar of the service tunic. The SS collar tabs were originally adopted from the earlier rank collar tabs as utilized by the SA, Sturmabteilung, (Storm Troops). Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler’s obsession with pagan runic symbolism manifested itself in runic emblems used by the SS, Schutz Staffel, (Protection Squad), the most famous of which was the dual sig-runes used on the collar tabs as introduced in May 1933. Additional runic style collar tabs were introduced at various times through-out the war. The assorted SS collar tabs remained in usage through-out the war with a couple of minor alterations. The SS-Totenkopfverbände, (Death’s Head Units), were responsible for guarding German concentration camps from 1933 until 1939 when its personnel were assigned as the nucleus of the newly forming Waffen-SS-Totenkopf-Division. As a result new Totenkopf-Wachsturmbanne, (Death’s Head-Guard Battalion), units were formed and assigned to guard the concentration camps. Later in the war as manpower shortages in the Waffen-SS became more severe many of the younger, physically fit, Totenkopf-Wachsturmbanne personnel were transferred into assorted Waffen-SS units and had to be replaced. This prompted Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler to induct roughly 10,000 older, (40+), reservists to fill the empty camp guard positions. This pattern collar tab was introduced late in the war, (circa June 1944), for wear by Heer and Luftwaffe personnel on temporary duty as concentration camp guards. Right hand side, black wool construction collar tab with machine embroidered, double armed swastika in silvery/grey rayon threads.

WW2 German Nazi Third Reich Im Dienst der Deutschen Wehrmacht armband

The Army Mobilization Order of March 12TH 1937, introduced a wide variety of armbands that were worn to identify personnel performing specific duties or functions for the Armed Forces. Most of the armbands were worn on the upper left sleeve of uniformed or non-uniformed personnel and were worn only while the individual was performing the specific duty or function identified by the armband. As the war progressed it was deemed that additional armbands were necessary to identify the growing sector of non-uniformed, non-German civilian personnel serving in a military capacity with any branch of the armed forces. As a result assorted identifying armbands were introduced as required. This armband was introduced on October 1ST 1941 for wear by non-German civilians serving the Armed Forces and Russian Auxiliaries when not in uniform.
