Waffen-SS 'Prinz Eugen' Collar Tab
Waffen-SS Collar Tab (Kragenspiegel) as intended for a member within the '7. SS-Freiwilligen Gebirgs-Division "Prinz Eugen". The division was formed in January 1942 and was composed of both Reich Germans and Volksdeutsche; ethnic German volunteers and conscripts from the Banat, the Independent State of Croatia, Hungary and Romania. The division fought an anti-partisan campaign against communist-led Yugoslav Partisan resistance groups in occupied Yugoslavia from 1942 to 1945. The division surrendered to Yugoslav Partisans on 11 May 1945. The collar tab is showing an embroidered 'Odal Rune' in silver/grey thread on black wool. The collar tab is having a nice light-brown, coloured 'Buckram' backing. The collar-tab originates almost certainly from the SS clothing department at the Dachau KZ when liberated in 1945. The collar-tab is in good unissued condition with some minor staining caused by years of storage. Nice original 'Prinz Eugen' Collar-Tab!
