German WWII SS Croation Volunteer Sleeve Shield-This would be worn by the German 13.Waffen Gebirgs Division of the SS “Handschar” (kroat. nr. 1) members. Initially authorized for wear by an order dated April 30th of 1943, this insignia was supposed to be worn on the center right sleeve. This was often ignored, and its wear was more commonly seen on the left sleeve just below the sleeve eagle. It depicts the Croatian national shield, in a white and red checkerboard pattern, machine embroidered over a black wool background. This is excellent, and a scarce find.
