English: Emblem of the 15th Waffen-Grenadierdivision der SS (lettische Nr. 1). Latvian SS Volunteer Legion badge, vector format image.
  • The Latvian Legion (Latvian: Latviešu leģions) was a formation of the German Waffen-SS during World War II. Created in 1943, it consisted primarily of ethnic Latvian personnel. The legion consisted of two divisions of the Waffen-SS: the 15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Latvian), and the 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Latvian).

Foreign Volunteer Legion & Waffen-SS cloth shields worn as uniform sleeve insignia:
The 1st pattern Latvian shield was locally produced and issued to the Latvian Volunteer Legion. The shield (50mm x 64mm) is made of red cloth with a white diagonal cotton cloth sewn on a thin white canvas material.
A rare early pattern locally produced Latvian shield shows the Latvian National colors with a separate black field sewn at the top, and with the inscription "LATVIJA" in white.
The Latvian SS late (second and final?) pattern shield was issued and worn by volunteers in "15. Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS Lettische." It is likely that this shield was also worn by Latvians in the "2. Waffen-Grenadier SS Lettische Brigade" and "19. Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS Lettische Nr 2."
