Hi
During the war several Danish persons enlisted OT and about 800 The OT Schutzkommando.
Guarding the OT building plants but also work camps(and POW`s alike) danes served in the East and South, Norway, Italy,Russia, everywhere.
Here you see a overcoat used by a Dane in the OT SK with the Drivers Badge on the left arm.

pic found recently on the web showing SK uniform obiously from France.
Note the Armbadge which are the BeVo style, but a hole range of special Armshields where featured for use in the OT for foreign workers, from Denmark the badge should be a yellow shield with the blue lions and red hearts in a heraldic form-hundreds of pics in my collection of Danish OT workers don`t sport any of thes badges at all.
For the French SK a cogwheel inside the French flag was used, and I have never seen the Bevo french shield used before.
The OT Armbands had really a lot of different design, to many to describe here.

Danish member of the OT SK, pic made in Brüssel, 1944 and given to me 1994 from the pictured owner.
This member ended up in Denmark in a LW Guardcorps, and then in the HIPO police.
He Died 1998.

Hi
Well in those days I wonder any guy would go to visit "The Blue Oyster Club" having a dance and a swing with
a Navy Sailor, but :wink: the pic was handcoloured to some extent as was sometime used. It`s a postcard, and
was made in Brussel, Belgium :wink:

sorry for this late reply,

finding photos of Danish SK member is hard to tell no one in DK has had any specific interest in this topic, so I can`t help in any direction :roll:
