WWII German Turkistan Volunteer Sleeve Shield, 3rd, printed pattern
Nice, unissued example of the printed Turkestan Legion Volunteer Shield 3rd Pattern as worn by personnel of the German Army 162. (Turkestan) Infanterie-Division. This unit was made up of volunteers from Turkestan (mostly refugees and former prisoners of war), with German cadre personnel. They fought in Italy and proved to be quite effective. This Turkistan Legion Volunteer Shield 3rd Pattern was introduced in 1944 and worn until the end of the war. All of these third pattern shields were printed on cotton, and this example is textbook in both fabric and printing style. The shield depicts a mosque with the word Turkistan and the slogan “God with us!” rendered in ancient Turkic script
