Rare German WW2
Armband "Im
Dienst der Deutschen Wehrmacht"
+ original
PHOTO You are bidding on
an Armband "Im
Dienst der Deutschen Wehrmacht" (In the Service of
the German Armed Forces). Just a few weeks after the German
invasion thousands of International citizens desired to
serve in the German army. The number of such volunteers was
constantly increasing. There are no precise data, but
approximately 1.500.000 International citizens had served in
Wehrmacht. From the very first day of the World War II a lot
of International captives and deserters suggested their help
to Germans in subsidiary services. Germans called those
volunteers Hiwi (from Hilfswillige -- voluntary aide). Those
volunteers served as drivers, cooks, hospital attendants,
stable-men in the rear services. Thus they gave Germans the
possibility to serve in the forward position. And in the
battle sub-units International volunteers served as
ammunition carriers, sappers and messengers. Hiwi had
personal arms for the case of danger. Originally Hiwi
continued to wear old uniform and badges of rank, but
gradually they were given the German uniform. Sometimes only
the armband with the words "Im Dienst der Deutschen
Wehrmacht" was the proof of the fact that Hiwi belonged to
Wehrmacht (the German Armed Forces).
The armband does not glow under a black light. Estimate price for
that nice item is $200 - $220.

1. It is very strange, but we meet people who want to delete all Holocaust
artefacts from Internet and from our memory. They hate the memory about that awful time. We'd like
to repeat one more time: the main goal of this site is to help the people to
remember those horrible time and never repeat them again. For this purpose we
are making a lot of donations - please take a look.
Fortunately most of people
understand the goal of this site.
2. Very often people ask where we got so rare Holocaust items. The answer is:
we have been collecting them for more than
30 years. We are searching and buying items from veterans, archaeologists
companies that work at World War II battlefields, also from private collectors
and from museums. In
1990-1992 some museums in Ukraine (it was difficult time for the country) sold some Holocaust items to the public and we
bought a lot of them. Also a lot of people want to sell or donate their artefacts via our
site - you can see next to some items "selling by consignment". Our
site is non profit. And we don't ask for donations, we are making a
donations.
3. For today we don't have any catalogue for reference about Holocaust artefacts. We
have written a catalogue "WW2 HOLOCAUST ARTEFACTS" and we are starting to
publish iton our site for people who are interested in Holocaust armbands,
patches, stars ...
You can see it here.
Please don't be late - a lot of people want to buy this item :)
