Hello

Who is intented to wear this armband ?

Thanks

[OSS]

Non-uniformed personnel employed by the German Armed Forces.

Uniformed men of branches other than Heer (army) wore these a lot!
Mostly seen examples are Reichsbahn service and RAD service personnel!

With RAD service uniforms. I have 5 RAD uniform impressions and each has such an armband. They would wear these while on assignment digging/building fortifications for the Army...ditching their political swastika armbands (usually while outside of the Reich borders)

[OSS]

Yes, since a large percentage of the German population wore some sort of uniform, I should have added "and uniformed persons with uniforms other than those of the German Armed Forces (Deutsche Wehrmacht)".

Hello

Do you think this yellow armband would have been used in France by French local forces ?

Thanks
