Wehrmacht-Dolmetscher

[TobyR]

Hi Everybody,

I recently bought a small collection of armbands: several of which I haven't seen before (apart from in books).

Here's one - 'Wehrmacht-Dolmetscher' - which I understand was for War Reporters during the Spanish Civil War.

Anyone else have this armband?

Thanks for looking.

All the best,
Toby.

Hello Toby,
Dolmetscher is actually a translator. I've seen only one that I remember, about 25 years ago.

Hi Erich,

Thanks for that. Silly me re. the translation. I do now remember reading that it was translator during the Spanish Civil War - I don't know 'Kriegsberichteter' and 'Dolmetscher' sound so alike - NOT.

All the best,
Toby.

Here's another armband, also in the same lot as the Dolmetscher armband. This time for Volunteers of the German Wehrmacht. Quite an interesting fabric - a heavier cotton.

All the best,

Toby.
