OUTSTANDING Original WWII German SS/Police SD/Schuma Matching Set Of Slip-on Shoulder Boards Certified. The Schutzmannschaft (or Schuma) was an auxiliary police force established by SS leader Heinrich Himmler on July 25, 1941, to support German occupation efforts in the Soviet Union and Baltic states. Although officially subordinated to the Ordnungspolizei (Order Police), the Schutzmannschaft operated under the broader authority of the SS and played a key role in enforcing Nazi control in the East. These units worked closely with SS and security police forces, often participating in anti-partisan operations and population control. Many battalions were directly involved in the Holocaust, assisting the Einsatzgruppen with mass shootings, roundups, and deportations of Jews. In some instances, such as the Schutzmannschaft-Brigade Siegling, personnel from the SS and Security Police were integrated into the Schutzmannschaft and later absorbed into the Waffen-SS.While formed as a policing entity, the Schutzmannschaft functioned as an arm of the SS security apparatus, contributing significantly to Nazi occupation policies and atrocities in Eastern Europe. an outstanding example of a rare SD/Schuma Slip-on Shoulder Board, as worn by members of the collaborationist enlisted auxiliary police force operating under SS control in occupied Eastern territories during World War II.
