Description
Very nice uniform removed example of a Russian Volunteer sleeve shield, produced in BeVo weave construction and trimmed edges from being sewn onto the uniform.
Note – The positive Russian response to the proclamation overwhelmed the Germans and resulted in the formation of the Russian Army of Liberation in early 1943 nominally under Vlasov’s command. Hitler, still distrusting the Russians, ordered that Vlasov be incarcerated, although the formation of the Russian Army of Liberation continued. Finally on November 14TH 1944 the Russian Army of Liberation was officially sanctioned by the Germans. Personnel serving with the Russian Army of Liberation were issued with a German approved identifying sleeve shield.
