Why so hard to find?

[kyles bullets]

Any idea why this type of volkssturm is so much harder to find than the red white and black type. There seems to even be more period pictures of this type! Maybe a second standard type? My guess is what it was worn on the eastern front thus less remain....

Never thought about it. However, I like the armband shown much better than the standard easily found band.

I do too. The eagle is nicer but even if you do find them of course it being white will always be a problem for collecting them.... An odd thing that you don't think about really....

Are they white or yellow in colour?

Cheers.

Volkssturm Armband

I've been searching for this variation of the Volkssturm armband for quite a long time now and have never seen an original for sale. I do agree the reason this type isn't seen is because it does appear that it was only used on the by units on the eastern front.

They are white from the looks of them compared to the collars or parts of their clothing. How long has you searched for this type ETN?

The closest examples I have seen are this one in the link and the attached one but both are still different....

Is this type even in any reference books?
