SS Lebensborn Armband - is it real?

[John W. Krueger]

I would sincerely appreciate any opinions as to the authenticity of this armband. The "Lebensborn" is embroidered. Thanks, John

Google "Lebensborn Images" OR go to WAF "Search"........
If you can find a period photo of such an armband being worn, we can go from there........
IMO, this is in the same category as the enamel Lebensborn SS pins, shaped like NS Frauenschaft pins.
NOTE: Period photos DO show nurses wearing white smocks, with long-sleeve blouses, and white armbands with a red cross, however.
IMO, the "Lebenborn" embroidery WASN'T on this type of armband.

Fantasy, simular ones also surfaced, eg LW eagle with "Flakhelferin". Also never existed.

In my humble opinion it's a fantasy piece, similar to those Julfest Lebensborn candy paper bags.

Hi,

In my humble opinion it's a fantasy piece, similar to those Julfest Lebensborn candy paper bags.

+1.

By the way the infamous Bad Pölzin candy paper bags are printed on inkjet printer...

See You

Shoddy construction, off-centered logo. Permit me to have reservations about the very existence of such armbands.
