Langemarck lion shield – Dachau production
Flemish volunteers were allowed to wear a lion shield, placed just below the SS eagle on the upper left sleeve of their uniform. The black woolen shield-shaped base features a machine-embroidered black Flemish lion on a yellow background. These shields originate from the SS-Bekleidungswerke depot at the Dachau concentration camp, which was liberated in 1945.
