The 4th SS "Polizei" Panzergrenadier Division? I think they wore the regular army collar insignia. -- Al

I think you are correct Lancer...although I believe other, later Waffen SS Divisions such as the Muslim division and one or two others also used other collar symbols rather than the SS runes.

A very important unit,the 3rd waffen ss Totenkopf wore a skull instead of the SS runes.

Which one was the waffen ss division, the only one not wearing the SS runes on the collar?

A question with many different answers, as it turns out. There were several SS units raised from foreign levies that weren't, by regulation, allowed to wear the SS runes. Not a simple question or answer. -- Al

Yep. The "Handschar" division, for example, had an emblem of an arm holding a scimitar, with a swastika above the crook of the elbow. The division was recruited from Muslim Croats.

Yeah, as a trivia question, it could use a little tweaking. "Which Waffen-SS divisions did not use the SS-rune emblem on its collar patches?" perhaps.

Prost!

And which german ww2 division wore white insignia?

And which german ww2 division wore white insignia?

That's another question that needs some tweaking. Which insignia? The Litzen on their collar? Divisional or other formation signs, eg, the greyhound badge of the 116 "Windhund"Panzer Division, or the Schwedteradler cap badge, etc? And you mean an insignia and not the Waffenfarbe of white (for infantry)?

Prost!

It is a question of uniformology, not about politics, wasn't that clear?

Dear Lancer, this was a rhetorical question, and dear poppo I don't care wich uniform they wore during the cessions, they were monsters .
My mistake; I will not comment anymore on topics concerning SS, this turns always my guts out and have always epidermic reaction .

Not all the waffen ss men were monsters, some were just soldiers, and not all the allies soldiers were not criminals.:smile2:

Collar

Ah, ok, you still really weren't specific enough, You meant the color of the background field on their collar tabs.

Sorry but the question is wrong. None of the Foreign Volunteer Divisions where allowed to wear the SS runes on the collar by SS regulation.
Reasons why you might find pictures proving that to be wrong is that during the war it became a habbit , at least partly to simply adopt them - regulations or not. German SS Soldiers who where drafted into these Volunteer Divisions where allowed to keep wearing the collar patches of their old units.

Offered only for Historical information.

First is the official map of Foreign volunteer sleeve patches and collar tabs and variants issued during the period of the 3. Reich. The border is made up of sleeve shields and the map covered with Wss Tabs over the country where the unit was raised.

The second is a list of Foreign Waffen SS formations and close ups of their collar tabs.

This is very good info normally only used and seen by insignia collectors, some of these patches bring thousands of dollars and are very very rare. Regards Gebhard

The waffen ss can be considered as the german foreign legion. Most of the waffen ss divisions were made of foreign volunteers.And yes, they wore the ss runes.
