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.
  • Germania. 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.
