German WWII Volkssturm Armband

The Volkssturm was formed in October of 1944 as a civilian militia. Volkssturm units were deployed in the final battles as the German Reich was overrun at war’s end.

This one is a textbook example constructed of a thin cotton fabric, screen printed with two German eagle’s and the wording “Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht.” The edges of this armband are finished with machine stitching. This Volkssturm Armband shows some light storage wear with two small holes.

Very nice exampel!!
