Original WWII German Wehrmacht Turkistan Legion Volunteer Sleeve Shield – Third
An original WWII German Wehrmacht Turkistan Legion volunteer sleeve shield, representing the third and final pattern of this foreign volunteer insignia used from 1944 through the end of the war. These shields were worn by members of the Turkistan Legion, one of the Eastern volunteer formations raised from Central Asian personnel serving under German command.
This example is a desirable foreign volunteer insignia piece with strong collector interest, particularly for those focused on Wehrmacht volunteer formations, Eastern Legions, collaborationist units, and late-war German uniform insignia. The third-pattern design is especially appealing as the final wartime variation, making it a noteworthy addition to an advanced WWII cloth insignia collection.
