thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SSRunes.jpg

message: If I am not very much mistaken, what you call "SS foreign collar patches" are in fact unofficial would-be collar patches that were never issued to the units (the Viking drakkar for the 5th SS division, the cross of Burgundy for the 28th, the SA badge for the 18th &c). The patches are from Robin Lumsden's book on the SS, known in Spain as "Historia secreta de las SS".≈≈≈≈ Juan  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 10:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistake? 

message: Its collar patch seems to have been a sort of "Odal" rune in lieu of the SS runes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 09:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Norwegian SS Volunteer Legion's collar patch 

message: There is a "V" shaped insignia that is used by some members of the SS, usually those of a higher rank.  Two prominent figures that use it were Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich.  At first glance it resembles an NCO's insignia, does anyone know what this is.  It is the insignia on Himmlers right sleeve (left on the picture) here
