Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo taken at the Troms Forsvarsmuseum ("Troms Armed Forces Museum, Troms Defence Museum"), a military history museum in Setermoen in Northern Norway:
  • Waffen-SS field uniform as worn by a "front fighter" (Norwegian: frontkjemper), a Norwegian volunteer serving as a combat soldier in a collaborationist formation of the Waffen-SS, a part of the armed forces of Nazi Germany in World War II, circa 1943:
    • Field tunic/jacket (Feldbluse ) with four pleated patch pockets, etc.
    • Badges and insignia on the left sleeve of the tunic:
      • Silver bullion SS style 'arm eagle' (SS Hoheitszeichen, Ärmelhoheitsabzeichen, 'national emblem for the sleeve', Ärmeladler, 'sleeve eagle', Ärmelvogel, 'sleeve bird') for SS officers, a woven/embroidered "eagle-and-swastika" patch on left sleeve. In March 1936, Hitler approved a new art deco imperial eagle (Reichsadler) with staggered wingtips for the SS, which was worn through the end of the war as a cap badge and on the sleeve.
Waffen-SS was the military branch of the Nazi Party's SS (Schutzstaffel) organisation. Its formations included men from Nazi Germany, along with volunteers and conscripts from both occupied and unoccupied countries. Waffen-SS wore a variation of the field-grey (grey-green) (feldgrau) army uniform with SS insignia. The majority of SS personnel wore a variation of the Waffen-SS uniform or the grey-green SS service tunic.
