| Auxiliary Security Police Arm Badge of the SHUMA, (Polizei-hilfskrafte und Schutzmannschaften Ordengspolizei), Police Auxiliary Units & Protection Groups, Which Were Considered To Be Part Of The SS - Black Variation | |
 |
7GC-99. An oval arm badge bearing a central swastika, surrounded by the embroidered motto, “ Treu Tapfer Gehorsam,” (faithful courageous and obedient), within a wreath. The design is embroidered using flat silver wire on a black background with gray/green rayon backing material. The arm badge was worn by personnel, while in the service of the Auxiliary Security Police. Because the Germans advanced very rapidly into Russia, they left behind vast areas that required clearing of stragglers of the Soviet Army, anti-Nazis, as well as other “undesirables;” in the civil population. These action groups,” were recruited from ethnic Germans but also included local pro-Germans, as well as reliable captured Soviet Militia. These action groups rounded up Soviet Army stragglers, acted as interpreters, guards and dealt with the civil population restoring order so that civil government could be restored in occupied Russian areas and ultimately became fully involved in anti-partisan operations. This example has been cut from a roll and is in unused condition exhibiting very slight signs of age from handling and storage. An impressive looking insignia. Excellent. $160.00 SOLD |
