Description
Deutsch: Foto aus Lofoten War Memorial Museum, Svolvær (Norwegisch: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum 1940–1945), Norwegens größte Ausstellung von Uniformen und Gegenständen aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg:
usw.

English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum), Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and items from World War II, located in Svolvær:
  • German WW2 uniforms:
    • Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend), the youth organisation of the Nazi Party in Germany:
      • Nazi swastika armband: a red–white–red striped flag design with a black swastika in the middle, inside a white shaped diamond; etc.
    • Volkssturm (Der Deutsche Volkssturm), a levée en masse national militia established by Nazi Germany during the last months of World War II:
      • The Volkssturm "uniform" was only a black armband with the German words Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht ("German People's Storm Armed Forces"). The German government tried to issue as many of its members as possible with military uniforms of all sorts, ranging from Feldgrau to camouflage types. A telling example of the Volkssturm's piecemeal outfitting occurred in the Rhineland, where one unit was provided with "pre-war black SS uniforms, brown Organization Todt coats, blue Air Force auxiliary caps, and French steel helmets." Most members of the Volkssturm, especially elderly members, had no uniform and were not supplied, so they generally wore either work uniforms (including railway workers, policemen and firemen), Hitler Youth uniforms, old uniforms or their parts from the time of the First World War or their civilian clothing and usually carried with them their own personal rucksacks, blankets, cooking-equipment, etc
      • Paramilitary Volkssturm rank insignia of a Zugführer (platoon leader) on collar tab
    • Waffen-SS uniform:
      • Streifendienst der Waffen-SS armband/armlet
      • Peaked cap (Schirmmütze) for officer. High fronted, saddle shaped visor cap with officers pattern chin chords on pebble side buttons, SS style eagle-and-swastika (SS Hoheitsabzeichen, Hoheitsadler, SS-Adler, Mützenadler) and skull-and-crossbones (Totenkopf) cap badges. Red Waffen-SS Waffenfarbe (corps colours) piping indicating 'artillery'.
      • M44 pattern field tunic (Feldbluse 44). In late 1944, the tunic skirt was shortened to waist length, and the tunic could be worn with an open or closed collar. The color was the new “Feldgrau 44”, a drab greenish-brown.
      • Waffen-SS rank insignia on collar patches (collar tabs, Kragenspiegel) and shoulder boards (Schulterstücke): Scharführer (Master Sergeant)
      • SS style 'arm eagle' (Ärmeladler, 'sleeve eagle' ), an woven eagle-and-swastika patch on left tunic sleeve. In March 1936, Hitler approved a new art deco eagle with staggered wingtips for the SS, which was worn through the end of the war as a cap badge and on the sleeve.
      • Cuff title (Ärmelstreife,Ärmelband) for the 4th SS-Panzer Grenadier Regiment Der Führer (formation BeVo EM/NCO's cuff band 1943). Der Führer Regiment were first formed in September 1938 after Germany's annexation of Austria during an NSDAP Rally in Nurnberg and authorised to wear their new title. Later they were to become the "2nd SS Panzer Division "Das Reich" but ratained the right to wear the "Der Führer" cuff title. In October 1943 they underwent yet another name change, that of the 4th SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment "Der Führer".
      • Belt with pistol holsters
    • Waffen-SS combat uniform (field uniform):
etc.
