I have a small Japanese collection that I add to when I can. I set up educational displays and when i do a WWII display I display Japanese, German and Italian material in a Know your enemy type setup. I recently found this material at a military show to add to the display

These to Medical Armbands were with some German WWII Armbands I inherited a few years ago. Are They German and what time period would they be. The smaller one had an old collection tag with it that said it was a nurses armband. Comments and opinions welcome. 

Thank you for the information and the good search ideas.  We already knew about the CWGC site. We are going to visit his grave in Schotland for the first time in may.

Welcome to the WMF, Valerio!

Excellent, looking forward to it!

The next Orange County Military show will be held March 21st, at Heroes Hall Museum at the OD Fairgrounds.   Saturday March 21st from 10am-4pm.   Also near the show is the REDO Vintage Market, on Friday and Saturday.

Great to have all the fixings too (Portapee and hangars)...   I really like the color of the handle as well...This burnt orange (pumpkin) color is beautiful..   Leigh      

Just got a German ww2 badge. Was seeing what the forum thinks. 

Hi everyone,   My name is Valerio, and I’m writing to you from Italy. My passion for military history is deeply rooted in my family heritage, beginning with the stories of my great-grandfather, who served as an Ardito (the elite storm troops of the Italian Army) during World War I. Knowing he was part of such an iconic elite unit has always made the study of that era feel very personal to me.   I have just started sharing some pieces of my US collection on the USMF, but here I’ll be happy to show and discuss items from other countries, including Italy of course. I’m looking forward to exchanging opinions, diving deeper into the history, and learning from the more experienced collectors in this community.   Best regards, Valerio

Maybe pre war I would of said , and sub stopped somewhere in the Caribbean, like Cuba, the Domivcan Republic et all, on a courtesy call, and these hats were bought for the crew, But we don't believe they made trips like this type, surface ships yes, subs, would say no right, as they wanted their U-Boat fleet kept kinda secret, after  Versailles said no subs.
