With VNV & Date Ink Stamps & DM/ZB Wolf-Trap Rune Insignia. Sn 19699 - 19699 The Belgian Rexist movement and the Fascist Vlaamsch Nationaal Verbond (VNV) party achieved some electoral success in the 1930s. The party gained rapid support for a brief period. Many of its members assisted the Nazi occupation during World War II. The DM/ZB (Dietsche Militie / Zwarte Brigade) was the VNV equivalent to the Nazi German storm troopers. David Littlejohn (Foreign Legions of the Third Reich, Vol. 2: Belgium, Great Britain, Holland, Italy and Spain shows the DM/ZB unit flags with the same wolf-trap rune as our flag (sometimes the rune is seen superimposed on a Lion device). The flag of the VNV was orange with a white disc bordered blue and charged with a blue voided triangle (blue, white and orange are the colours of the (united) Netherlands. The blue triangle is the [6; (delta) letter, the Netherlands being the delta of three major European rivers: Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt). VNV DM/ZB Storm Trooper unit flags bore the Wolf trap rune. This is a rare, original, WW2 dated Belgian / Netherlands Fascist Vlaamsch Nationaal Verbond (VNV) Storm Troopers (DM/ZB Dietsche Militie / Zwarte Brigade ) Storm Trooper’s Flag.
