Physical Description and Item Details


An Armenian Volunteers Arm Shield - Red, blue and black screen-printed insignia on yellow cloth, 77 mm x 77 mm, extremely fine.

History


Foreigners in the Wehrmacht either wore their own national uniforms with German rank insignia, or German uniforms with sleeve insignia identifying their country of origin. These sleeve insignia were supposed to be worn on the right upper sleeve, although they were also often worn on the left side. The shield usually shows the national colours, and often comes with a country name in Latin capitals at the top.

Of most of the foreigners sleeve insignia one or more additional (slightly) altered variants may exist.

The Armenia insignia shows horizontal national colours, red/blue/golden-yellow, inside a black border, with “Armenien” in golden-yellow letters on black.
