Description
This is an attractive example of a Waffen-SS, Latvian ‘volunteer’ arm-shield as intended for usage by soldiers of the 15th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division. The shield retains very vivid red and white colors and is of the later (1943/1944-period-) defiantly originating from the Dachau clothing-depots.
Note – In February 1943, the Latvian SS Legion (SS-Lettische-Legion) was formed, in mid-1943 in the 1st Lettische-SS-Freiwillingen-Brigade, which was later developed in the 15th Division of Lettland.
