Product Description: Hitler Youth Doctor Armband This is an absolutely textbook original example of the Hitler Youth Doctor Armband with RZM tag. It is in excellent plus condition. It’s made of machine woven rayon, with an red machine stitched “Y” central located with red top and bottom stripes. This one is not worn and is very vibrant. The interior of this Hitler Youth Doctor armband features the original paper RZM tag, which is the correct type, with blue printing. The tag shows matching wear to the rest of the armband. The armband is not sewn together on the reverse. The materials and stitching on this are exactly what one would expect to see on an original armband of this type. Nice representative example!
Historical Description: Nearly every military, civil, political and paramilitary organization in existence during the Third Reich used armbands. Armbands were worn on military and civilian uniforms and also on civilian clothes, from suit jackets to work clothing. They were used to denote membership in organizations, to indicate a specific role or function of the bearer, and as insignia of rank. Many organizations would change the design of their armbands over time, which added to the variety produced. These were manufactured in countless variations, ranging from simple printed bands to elaborately hand-embroidered pieces of the highest quality. Some Nazi armbands were worn by all members of large organizations and were made by the millions. Others were intended for use at a specific time and place and were unique. Many types were made in very limited numbers. Some bore metal insignia or special identifiers that indicated the wearer’s rank, unit affiliation, or nationality. Armbands were sometimes, but not always, marked with ink stamps by the issuing authorities.
