See Foreign Legions Of The Third Reich Vol. 1 by David Littlejohn (1987), pages 71–113, for detailed descriptions of uniforms and insignia of the pro-Nazi organizations and collaborationist military units in German-occupied Denmark during the Second World War.
The Germanic Corps, also known as Germansk Korps and renamed SS-Schalburgkorps, was formed under Germanic SS (German: Germanische SS) in April 1943 in Denmark under K.B. Martinsen's leadership. It had two groups: one was a paramilitary force, and the other included civilian sympathizers who provided funding. By winter 1943, it consisted of around 1,000 men led by Danish Waffen-SS officers. The SS-Schalburgkorps was deployed to suppress Danish resistance under the direction of Himmler, Best, and Martinsen.
