An exceptionally rarefirst-patternGerman WW2RLB Officer's Armband (circa 1933-1939), featuring a mid-blue cotton construction with a machine-embroidered RLB emblem at the center. The emblem consists of a forty-eight-point white starburst with stylized navy blue "RLB" initials positioned above a small navy blue swastika. Both the top and bottom edges are trimmed with woven white tress, indicating wear by an officer rank.
The Reichs Luftschutz Bund (RLB) was formed in 1933 as a civil air raid protection organization under Hermann Göring’s Reich Ministry of Aviation. Initially a voluntary group, it was later subjected to mandatory service in 1935. Officers in the RLB played a critical role in air raid preparedness across Wartime Germany. This armband is a scarce and highly collectible piece of WWII Reich air defense history.
