Original German WWII Air Raid Street Warden "Strassen-Erlaubnis" Armband from Occupied Netherlands
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is very nice German WWII Air Raid Street Warden Strassen-Erlaubnis (Permitted on Roads) armband (Ärmelbinde), made from what we believe is white machine woven cotton. This pattern of armband was used in the occupied Netherlands during air raids, and were worn by street wardens whose responsibility was to make sure that all the lights on that block were turned out. It has a large STRASSEN - ERLAUBNIS printed on the side, and there is an inspection / depot stamp on it that is faint but reads Der Reichskommissar für die Besetzten Niederländischen Gebiete, which translates to "The Reich Commissioner for the Occupied Dutch Territories". The armband measures approximately 15" x 4 1/8", and is sewn together in the back.
The armband is in very good service worn condition, showing staining and age toning to the white material. This is definitely not an armband that spent its live in a depot, and saw real service wear.
