Watch List notes:

Russia: rare [hand-made] armshield badge for enlisted personnel (red border) of the ‘Kaminski Brigade’, with base cut from Soviet uniform. The unit evolved from a small militia in Lokot, Byelorussia, following the German invasion & became a large force posessing captured Soviet tanks & field guns; renamed the Russian National Liberation Army (RONA) under Bronislav Kaminski & tasked with anti-partisan duties; eventually incorporated into the Waffen-SS. It earned a reputation for such cruelty and ruthlessness, peaking during the surpression of the Warsaw Uprising, that Kaminski was executed and the force dispersed into Vlasov's ROA. Very few genuine armshields exist and none are alike.
