Hello,
the Aizsargi in 1944 were " auxiliary defence troops" or "hilfsschutzmannschaft".

As an official home guard, would the 19 Aizsargi battalions have been issued or worn an

armband like home guard in Estonia ?

If so what colour ? Yellow like the Estonian armbands ?

( photo of Estonian armbands).

I heared about ,,hilfswillige,, armband, but about Aizsargi units in 1944- never.
I think its like some fantasy level

Latvian Schutzmannschaft units used armbands (see photo). I have such armband in my collection, will make photo later. It is in light green (maybe little faded) color.

Sorry in previous post photo was upside down.

Aizsargu organizācija WWII periodā netika atjaunota!
"Shutzmani" kā struktūra bija jau pavisam cits formējums!
Protams kad to sastāvā bija daudz Aizsargu organizācijas cilvēku,kuri bija saglabājušias pēc padomju represijām.

after 1940. Aizsargi, (like organisation) no more existed.

Thanks for all the information everyone, much appreciated.
