BACKGROUND: As early as 1938 Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler and the Allgemeine-SS, (General-SS), began recruiting volunteer "Germanische", (Germanic), personnel who were considered to be suitably "Nordic", to serve in the SS-VT, SS-Verfügungstruppe, (SS-Special Purpose Troops). Originally these Germanic personnel were drawn from Dutch, Belgian, Danes and Norwegians but with only minor success. In March 1940 with the formation of the Waffen-SS, recruitment of the Germanic personnel began to increase slightly and with the outbreak of WWII additional Germanic volunteers came forward to join the ranks of the Waffen-SS. The 25TH Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS "Hunyadi" (ungarische Nr. 1), was formed in early 1944, with most of the personnel being drawn from Hungarian volunteers and conscripts.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Black wool collar tab with machine embroidered capital Latin "H", in silver/grey threads. The collar tab is mounted on a tan buckram backing.
