    I'm sure somebody out there can show one of these admittedly imposing and "martial" looking oval sleeve insignias-- which I have seen described for decades as "WW2 Werkschutz" (factory civil defense).

    But THIS is an advertisement from a German 1954 genealogical book that just came in today:

    [attachmentid=6616]

    NOT "Werkschutz"-- this is ACTUALLY the logo of the "Allianz" Life Insurance Company. Very probably not even WW2.
