One question about the photo #769:

Which badge was it next to the Assault Badge, unfortunately, I don't know that..?
(Looks a little bit to a former SA (Sturmabteilung) award)

I've never seen that on a uniform before.

I thought of an answer from our militaria expert Herr "von thoma", nothing so far...

Truly a rare badge, was German/Flemish SS badge.

This badge was awarded by a collaborating Flemish political party, the * VNV. One of the VNV leadership members, Raymond Tollenaere,
by way of "setting the good example" was one of the first to volunteer for with the German Waffen-SS in the " Legion Flanders ".
After training, he was commissioned and with the Flemish Legion fought on the Leningrad front where he was killed in action
( January 1942 ). Those VNV members which had volunteered and fought on the Leningrad front during the winter of 1941-42 were
awarded this badge in recognition.

* VNV= Flemish National League
