Original Item: Only One Available. This is an excellent unissued original German WWII Mid-War Style National Socialist Party Ärmelbinde (Armband), brought home by a U.S.G.I. after the war. The National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known in English as the NSDAP Party, was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers’ Party (DAP) before the name was changed in 1920.
The party’s last leader, Adolf AH, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg in 1933. AH rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich.
This standard armband was worn by party members, and was also worn by many service members and other personnel during the war. It features a cotton band with a white cloth circle, which bears a swas made from two strips of black cloth. Measures approximately 15″ x 3 3/4″, and is sewn together in the back. There is some minor age toning on the white circle, and virtually no wear to the cotton. There are no signs of it ever being stitched or pinned to a uniform.
In lovely condition, ready to display!
