Dutch SS plaquette

[Volkbert]

I want to share this dutch SS item. It was given to the family of fallen SS soldiers. As far as I know it's pretty rare. If you guys have one please also post a picture of it. This guy was also a member of the Dutch SS (Germaansche SS in Nederland). His name was mentioned in an NSB yearbook.

Hi,

Here is pictures of mines.

What I understand is that only around 20 of this plaquettes are known.

The round plaquette for fallen "Jeugdstormers" is even more scarce.

HI Rene:

I think I have the round plaquette you mentioned. It is bronze. I read in a book it was some sort of medal for the dead. I do not know where I have it but I know I have it. How much is it worth? It does not have a case.

Hi John,

You can see pic of this palquette in the book:

Orders, decorations medals and Badges of the third reich (Volume 2)
by Littlejohn
Page 114 at the top.

It must read "Hij gaf in Gods vertrouwen - Alles voor 't Vaderland"

He trusted God - Everything for his country

A value is difficult, but not cheap, I ques around Euro 900,00

If you want that this plaquette returned to his homeland please do not hesitate to contact me,I am more than interested.

Best regards,

Rene

HI Rene:

Thanks for the information.

I looked at the page you mentioned...sadly I do not have that piece..I have the piece on page 127 at the top...oh well.

The piece you mentioned is surely an impressive plaquette.
