SS Portrait - which Unit?

[Huebi]

Hi Folks,

thats my first posting here. Sorry my english isn´t very well.

I bought the following SS Portrait, but I have problems to identify the unit.

The sleeveband begins with a "W" and the shoulder straps with a "B".

I never seen this mix before.

Here the pic:



Thanks for any help.

Hello Nick!

Just a thoughts: I guess this is no a 'b' but similar looking Gothic 'G' that stands for SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment "Germania", that was part of 'Wiking' SS division.

Hi Alexander,

I made a better scan of the shoulder - I think it isn´t a "G".

I agree that looks like a B,not G.

Westland?

[Huebi]

Maybe Westland, but what is the meaning of the "B"?

Never seen something like this before.... You should consider posting it in the SS section; I am sure they can help you.

Best,

It could be "Brandenburg" they wore a block letter cufftitle also.

I was thinking a variation of "Braunschweig" schule.
