Here is your chance to pick up a very hard to find enlisted version of a Schutzmannschaft cap insignia. Flat grey thread. The Schutzmannschaft or Auxiliary Police ( Schuma ) was the collaborationist auxiliary police of native policemen serving in those areas of the Soviet Union and the Baltic states occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. Created to support the German offensive, in particular by combating the anti-Nazi resistance, many of these battalions participated in the Holocaust and caused thousands of Jewish deaths. Usually the battalions were voluntary units and were not directly involved in combat. In total, about 200 battalions were formed. Each battalion had an authorized strength of about 500, but the actual size varied greatly. Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
