Re: Legioen Nederland
Hi Lads,
In the begin they worn their shields on their upper arm..
Later in war they removed it to the lower arm 1,5 cm from cuff...
I can't figure the dates out when they decided to do so.
I have surched for the early type,but i think not availble at any store.

And that boys is how you take a penalty.
Re: Legioen Nederland
A small detail from our Wallonie kamerads is that the bird is placed exact under the winkel.
I'll think it must be 1,5 cm space between them.

Re: Legioen Nederland
http://www.militarycollectibles4u.nl/a- ... s-schilden here is someone who sells something that looks like the early war ones, but it seems to be too large and with more minor differences. Btw, it is not known if any of the Dutch shields were used from mid 1943 onwards, there is no photographical evidence of it. Only cufftitles seem to be worn and even those aren't very common.Mooyman wrote:Hi Lads,

Re: Legioen Nederland
Right,bilders are rare with that insignia.
Some say even the "dachau" shield is never worn.
I had 2 originals...no picture, but they were made...i'll suppose it is worn then.
But Mooyman had his tri-colour shield just about the cuff no doubt about it.

Re: Legioen Nederland
Here is another shield and cuff....but the shield is placed a bit more then 1,5cm from cuff...
Want to see more Rednas?
What confuse me from the first picture is that the insignia's are right but howe about the years
(first picture is copied from this forum some time ago)

Re: Legioen Nederland
That the Dachau shields have been made doesn't say that they were issued. Untill now there is no evidence that shows them to be worn, but it's always possible that photos or documents show up that they were worn.Mooyman wrote:Right,bilders are rare with that insignia.

The placement of the shield seems to be related to the use of a Sturmmann/Rottenführer winkel. The exeption on this are the Kriegsberichter from the legion who had a rectangular shield on the lower arm. Photos from this can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27535089@N ... 891528894/

Could be but i don't think so.I think there is no relation between the winkel and were the shield must be.
On early pictures i see them on the upper arm(also soldiers) ''later'' in war the shield is worn below.

Re: Legioen Nederland
Only for the Frw.Leg.NL (so until mid 1943) was that. Then the rule seems to be that the shield is on the upper arm except when having a oberschütze, sturmmann, rottenführer winkel with which they're all on the lower arm. Pz Gren Brigade/Division Nederland wasn't allowed to wear the Dutch shield, so no late war option on the Dutch shields in the Waffen SS. Don't know why though.Mooyman wrote:Could be but i don't think so.I think there is no relation between the winkel and were the shield must be.

The first shields were the small pointed ones, after that there were the ones with diagonal stripes. The rectangular shields seem to be only worn by the propagandazug. The Dachau shield with horizontal stripes was as far as I know never issued.
For the cufftitle's, the first ones were the Dutch made cufftitles with the very ugly characters ('Legion Niederlande'). After that came the Frw.Leg.Nederland/Frw.Leg.Niederlande cufftitles with the typical 'g' going trough the bottom line.
Check this link for a couple of the shields and cufftitles: http://i40.tinypic.com/5ocg07.jpg
