This is a very good condition German WWII Heer Army Deputy Air Defense Leader's \u003cem\u003eÄrmelbinde\u003c\/em\u003e (Armband), as often worn by Army flak gunners, brought home by a U.S.G.I. after the war. The armband is made from white cotton, with four blue rayon Tresse strips sewn onto it, two horizontally around the circumference, and two vertically. The two vertical stripes indicated that the wearer was the \"deputy\" leader, while the leader armband had only the horizontal strips. In the center is a lovely BeVo machine embroidered Heer \u003cem\u003eReichsadler\u003c\/em\u003e (National Eagle), made from white and black threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe armband is in very good condition, though it definitely does show age toning and light staining to the white portions. We do not see any holes from it being attached to a uniform, and it looks to have been folded as it is for some time.
