A superb and rare example of a World War Two

' Organisation Todt' 

screen-print armband as worn by volunteer German civilian technicians

or locally recruited experts in the occupied areas of the 

Channel Islands or French Coastal regions hosting

the huge building programme for the 

Third Reich's Atlantic Wall defences...

The 'Organisation Todt' 

was tasked with overseeing this massive fortification building programme

and recruited many German technicians where available,

or inducted local volunteers with the required specialist skills

in the occupied countries where the huge seas defences were being constructed,

and this armband was worn to indicate the civilian technician 

was indeed officially working for the O.T.

Apart from a slight darkening with age, this armband is in excellent condition..

From the collection of Brian Matthews,

Producer of the 1989 TV Documentary: 

'Channel Islands Occupied'

Thanks for looking..!
