No clue on the difference Joe. My guess is possibly just the extra cloth they had around or something as even the ones that are the same color, the materials are different or cheaper in quality. I actually do have this one which I have been still continuing to research more. I have gotten a reply finally from the NOID (Netherlands version of the US National Archives) and here is what they told me:

Born in Bremen on August 16, 1900. Was first commercially employed. In August 1932 he became a member of the Nazi Party, the Party in which he reached the rank of Oberbereichsleiter (circa early 1941). In the SS, he held the rank of Obersturmbannführer, according to him, this was only an honorary rank. In the NSDAP he first played a role in the National Socialist Betriebszellen Organisation (the forerunner of the German Labor Front), in 1937 he was appointed Amtsleiter the Party Chancellery in Munich. From May 1940 to September 1944 he was employed by the State Commissioner as Leiter der Hauptabteilung Organisation of Generalkommissariat besonderen zur Verwendung, also Deputy General Commissioner. He mainly had to do with labor input, the Dutch Labour Front, social legislation, Winter Aid Netherlands and Dutch People Service. During the last winter of the war, he worked as an OT Führer in reinforcements to Elten.

As far as he participation in the Dutch NSB DAF and RAD (NAF and NAD) he is some type of leader as his name has constantly popped up with leader next to his name and lots of documents on him in their archive. Before 1941's rank of Oberbereichsleiter he was a Hauptstellenleiter and I assume the Reich part is talking about the political level Reich? With the armband itself only 2 are known to me with the paper (both 2 which includes mine were from the same source) and 3 others are around without the paper. Any translation on the bottom words as google translate isn't clear. The paper states how he to not let anybody else use it and return it by thr 13th of September 1939. But Reichsparteitag 1939 never happened so he never wore the armband and all 5 would have been in storage somewhere where ever the veterans who brought back the 2 groups of them found them.










Photo of him. The caption says the middle man, but which one as there is 2 close to the middle... another armband is in the mail here but I won't post it until it arrives with my photos smile

The armband itself seems to be possibly silk?? Not rough in texture and the stripes are satin, very odd materials but very fancy! Materials make sense for the short term use

This is a great thread, thanks for sharing.

Here are my Norwegian Nasjonal Samling armbands (the NS was Norway's equivalent to the Nazi party in Germany).

The black one is for the adult members of the Hird, or party.

The green ones were for teh youth members.

These are very interesting! Is there a meaning of the 2 youth armbands having different insignia? One has swords and the other doesn't. Is the sword one some kind of leader or rank?

I am sure taht someone out there will correct me if I am wrong, but the one without swords is for the youth group (NSUF Nasjoanl Samling Ungdoms Fylking) and the one with swords is for the little girls (Smahird) and male youths (Unghird).

I have shoulder patches for these groups as well.

The last one is for the Unghirdmarine, or sea youths (I guess we would call them Sea Scouts today).

There were many similarities between the German and the Norwegian NS organizations.

There were equivalents to the RAD, the SS, the SA, the HJ, the women's organizations, the DLV, and on and on.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Yes, you are correct. The Norwegians had organizations similar to DJ (Guttehird) and HJ (Unghird) and the same for female groups: small girls (Smahird), youth women (Gjentehird) and adult women (Kvinnehird).

Hi Kyle, I'm thinking about buying a yellow armband (Deutsche Wehrmacht) with the stamp still on it. Is $87 (shipping included) a fair price or can you find them cheaper. The letters are not stamped but machine woven. Danke!

Sorry for the later reply. The top price I would pay for one is $40, nothing more. There is thousands of these on the market just at this moment, and probably the most common armband as Mark says.

It seems to be very difficult to find one at a low price! The cheapest one I could find is priced at $36 but the seller is not replying my emails... checked evil bay as well but there's just a bunch of fakes for sale and one original for 65 GBP (I think that's about $120?)

I would say yes, since the last post was a year ago haha.

Brown Feuerwehr armband. Not sure of the exact use. Can't find a lot of info. I suspect some type of leader or for training?

3 more Feuerwehr. These 3 were found together along with probably 15 others in Germany (the brown one earlier as well was part of this group) all from the same town. too bad the stamp isn't readable.

Not 100% sure on the exact use of this one, but have been told it was for Ortsgruppe Polizei? Has an odd little number stamped on the back as well.
