Third Reich Russian Volunteers in German Army POA Arm Badge – Item 89326

Third Reich printed POA Russian Volunteers in the German Army arm shield. Late war printed example in good condition for age. Ex Brian Davis collection.

Note: The army was led by Andrey Vlasov, a Red Army general who had defected. Vlasov agreed to collaborate with Nazi Germany after having been captured on the Eastern front. The soldiers under his command were mostly former Soviet prisoners of war but also included White Russian émigrés, some of whom were veterans of the anti-communist White Army from the Russian Civil War.
