Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice service used original German WWII Mid-Late War Style National Socialist Party Armband, brought home by a U.S. soldier after the war. The National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known in English as the NSDAP Party, was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers' Party (DAP) before the name was changed in 1920.

The party's last leader, Adolf AH, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg in 1933. AH rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich.

This standard armband was worn by party members, and was also worn by many service members and other personnel during the war. It is in very good condition, showing light wear and staining from service. It measures approximately 14" x 3 7/8", with the ends sewn together. It is made from cotton with the design printed onto the outside. It also has a very nice DAF stick pin stuck through the fabric.

There is overall light age toning to the white and light staining to the red band, giving it a fantastic "been there" look! A very nice NSDAP armband with a DAF stick pin, ready to add to your collection!

With the dissolution of all Free Trade Unions in Germany in May 1933 the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, (German Labor Front or DAF), was established to replace the unions and to educate the workers in industry and commerce for smooth and efficient operation of all labor in the Third Reich. In October 1934 the DAF was given official status as a sub-section of the NSDAP and in March 1936 it was recognized as an independent NSDAP affiliated association and granted control of its own monetary budget. With this money it was able to procure its own signs and other insignia.
