English: Cuff titles (cuff bands), also known as Ärmelbänder and Ärmelstreifen in German, were worn by multiple Nazi German military units before and during World War II. These insignia were sewn to the left sleeves of the uniform tunics. The Waffen-SS and SS variants typically had silver-grey text embroidered onto a black background.
  • Adolf Hitler. The members of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (German: 1. SS-Panzerdivision "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler"|, LSSAH) had "Adolf Hitler" written on their cuff title in the German Sütterlin script. The design did not bear any resemblance to Adolf Hitler's signature.
  • Der Führer. SS cufftitle from the SS-Standarte "Der Führer", formed in March 1938, later from 1939 SS-Regiment "Der Führer" and during the war since 1941 SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 4 „Der Führer“, known for its actions at the Western front in France (Normandy) and Belgium (Battle of the Bulge).
  • Grossdeutschland. The Panzergrenadier Division "Großdeutschland" was an elite combat unit of the German Army (Heer) that fought on the Eastern Front in World War II.
  • Germania. en:5th SS-Panzer Division "Wiking (5. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division „Wiking“) was an infantry and later an armoured division among the thirty-eight Waffen-SS divisions of Nazi Germany. From the outset, the division had three regiments (Standarten): "Nordland," "Westland," and "Germania," with names based on the origins of the personnel, both ethnic Germans and volunteers from the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark, as well as soldiers from Flemish Belgium and Sweden. During World War II, the division served on the Eastern Front. It surrendered on 9 May 1945 to the American forces in Austria.
  • Westland. After the German invasion of Poland in 1939, SS created two regiments of foreign military volunteers for the Nazi "crusade against Bolshevism" in April 1940: The Waffen-SS Regiment Nordland (for Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and a minority of Icelandic volunteers), and the Waffen-SS Regiment Westland (for Dutch and Flemish volunteers).
  • Frw.Legion Norwegen. The Norwegian Legion (Norwegian: Den norske legion, German: Freiwilligen-Legion Norwegen)) was a Norwegian collaborationist formation of the Waffen-SS during World War II. It was formed in German-occupied Norway on 29 June 1941, in support of the war aims of Nazi Germany. The unit was disbanded in 1943.
  • Germanske SS Norge. The Norwegian SS (Norwegian: Norges SS) was established in German-occupied Norway in May 1941. The establishment of the Norwegian Legion for its service on the Eastern Front in June 1941 led many members of the Norwegian SS to enlist and severely weakened it. As part of the SS's attempt to weaken the Norwegian Nazi leader Quisling's power, the Norwegian SS was renamed Germanske SS Norge in July 1942 and brought into the Germanic SS.
