Description
This Luftschutz Auxiliary Armband is constructed from a green cotton fabric. In the center of the armband is a black printed “L” denoting Luftshutz. There is an official issue hand stamp located on the front right side of the armband, above the stamp is a service number stamp indicating a true period issued example. Some light staining can be seen on the front, but no major damage other than this. All in all, this Luftschutz Auxiliary Armband is an excellent example and is another type often missing from most collections.
Note – The Reichsluftschutzbund (Air Protection League) was a civil defense organization in Nazi Germany in charge of air raid precautions in residential areas and among smaller businesses. In 1938 the Reichsluftschutzbund was transformed into the Luftschutz.
