German WWII Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht Armband- This is a narrow armband, just under 3 inches (7.62cm) wide. It is produced in red cloth with the printed script “Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht”. On either side of the script is a large Wehrmacht eagle. These were worn by members of the “National Militia” that was established in October 1944 as a last-ditch effort regarding the outcome of the war. It consisted of all able-bodied men from 16 to 60 years of age who were able to bear arms but were not already members of the Armed Forces. They were expected to furnish their own uniforms or wear civilian clothing, so in order to identify them, these armbands were issued. This armband shows light wear only. This is very clean, with nice bright colors. This is sewn together in the back. This is in near excellent condition.
