    Hlep ID these uniforms...

    OOPS - I REALLY NEED TO LEARN TO SPELL BETTER - HELP...not HLEP!

    Hi,

    Can someone help me ID these uniforms? Does the triangle insignia with the letters "N S B" indicate the Dutch Nazi Party? The other uniforms look like SS.

    Thanks for the help!

          NSB and WA

          Not quite correct Tyler,

          the first chap is an NSB (Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging) political leader. The others are officers of the W.A. or Weer Afdeeling, the storm troops of the NSB. The bespectacled officer is Commandant A J. Zondervan, the leader of the WA.

              Hi Glenn,

              Thanks for the info. Any clue what the poster represents? What specifically does the rune represent? Is it the symbol of the W.A.?

              Regards,

              Rick

                NSKK

                Rick,

                the poster may well represent a company of the Dutch NSKK which for the most part was under Luftwaffe jurisdiction and wore Luftwaffe uniform with NSKK insignia.

                The rune is a "Wolf Hook" and was a badge of both the NSB and WA.

                Regards
                Glenn

                    indeed Glenn and Tyler, if it was SS, they would have a "scull and wolf hook" cap and a plain black cuff band. The W.A. had red collar paches and the Dutch (Germanic) SS had black ones.
