Another salvage job by Captain Bult 2nd AD MP Co. near Geronswiller, Germany (Aachen sector) Siegfried Line, October, 1944. As a part of the IInd SS Pz Korps, the 9th SS Pz Div was withdrawn from the Arnhem sector after their successful defense against British Airborne forces, (late Sept-early Oct, 1944)and rotated to defense of the west wall before the Ardennes offensive began. Hohenstauffen would also take part in that offensive in Dec 44-Jan 45. To me, this cufftitle has just the right amount of wear, although it is full-length it is obviously removed from a tunic. It's a good bet that the original owner saw action at Arnhem and posibly also in the British sector in Normandy.
