Description: Second World War / WW2 Norwegian Resistance Milorg Armband / Brassard. Handmade reproduction armband made from khaki cotton canvas backing with a cotton Norwegian flag patch sewn with khaki-coloured thread. Based on examples in Norwegian museums. Milorg (abbreviation of militær organisasjon – military organization) was the main Norwegian resistance movement during the Second World War. Resistance work included gathering intelligence to be passed to Britain, sabotage, supply missions, raids, espionage, transport of goods imported to the country, release of Norwegian prisoners and escort for citizens fleeing the border to neutral Sweden. The armband is approx. 16" x 4.5". The top and bottom edges are turned and machine-sewn. There will be rough edges and loose threads etc on the inside. The armband comes with a safety pin to hold the armband in place on the upper arm. Overall, a great period-looking Norwegian resistance armband. Perfect for re-enacting events or for displaying.
