N011595 SA MILITARY DEFENSE ARMBAND. (SA Wehrmannschaften Armelbinde)

BACKGROUND: The "SA Wehrmannschaft" (SA Military defense training groups) were formed in January 1939 as a response to Hitler's decree for the SA to provide pre and post military defense training to all civilian males aged from 18 to 65 years old. Effectively a Home Guard comprised of those deemed unfit for regular military service due to age or partial infirmity, they wore a distinctive armband which incorporated the "SA Wehrabzeichen" (SA Sports badge) which, after July 1942, was restricted to wear on civilian clothing.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The approximately 10cm x 45cm red cotton armband has a 9cm diameter white field sewn to it, upon which is the SA sports badge machine woven in copper colored threads. The SA sports badge is in the form of an upright short sword against a mobile swastika surrounded by an oak leaf wreath. Complete with original RZM tag
