English: Cuff titles (cuff bands), also known as Ärmelbänder and Ärmelstreifen in German, were worn by multiple Nazi German military units before and during World War II. These insignia were sewn to the left sleeves of the uniform tunics. The Waffen-SS and SS variants typically had silver-grey text embroidered onto a black background.

• Nordland. Regiment Nordland, from November 1942 11. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division Nordland was a unit in the Waffen-SS, the military branch of the German Schutzstaffel (SS) during World War II. It was initially established as a motorized unit in Vienna in 1940. The regiment included volunteers from countries such as Norway and Denmark, and it was part of the 5th SS-Panzer Division "Wiking alongside the regiments "Germania" and "Westland."

5. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division „Wiking“ was an infantry and later an armoured division among the thirty-eight Waffen-SS divisions of Nazi Germany. From the outset, the division had three regiments (Standarten): "Nordland," "Westland," and "Germania," with names based on the origins of the personnel, both ethnic Germans and volunteers from the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark, as well as soldiers from Flemish Belgium and Sweden. During World War II, the division served on the Eastern Front. It surrendered on 9 May 1945 to the American forces in Austria.

After the German invasion of Poland in 1939, SS created two regiments of foreign military volunteers for the Nazi "crusade against Bolshevism" in April 1940: The Waffen-SS Regiment Nordland (for Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and a minority of Icelandic volunteers), and the Waffen-SS Regiment Westland (for Dutch and Flemish volunteers).
