Original Item: Only One Available. The yellow Deutsche Wehrmacht armband was worn by uniformed German personnel, who were attached to the Armed Forces during WWII. Often, these were worn by men of the Reichsarbeitsdienst and Reichsbahn who were operating with the German Army in the occupied countries. This is a great example, in very good condition. This Deutsche Wehrmacht armband is a textbook Bevo-style machine embroidered armband. There is some minor staining, but the armband is overall crisp, with no signs of real wear. It bears the wording “Deutsche Wehrmacht” (German Armed Forces) in a German Black Letter typeface. Measures approximately 14 x 4 inches.
It also has a very nice issue stamp, which is also in German Black Letter typeface, and reads:
Wehrbezirkskommando
(Reichsadler)
Nürnberg II
This translates to “Military District Headquarters Nuremberg II.” This indicates probable use by one of many personnel who would have been employed at the district headquarters. Many of these did not have issue stamps, or they are no longer legible, making this a choice example.
