WW2 Italian SS Fascist Sleeve Eagle

The WW2 Italian SS Fascist Sleeve Eagle is an insignia associated with the Italian SS, a paramilitary organization active during the later years of the Second World War. This sleeve patch was typically worn on the upper arm of the uniform and features an embroidered eagle, a symbol commonly used to denote authority and allegiance within Fascist and National Socialist organizations of the era. The design includes a stylized eagle with outstretched wings, often perched atop a swastika or Roman fasces, and was used to identify members of the Italian SS. Constructed from period materials, the insignia reflects both the political symbolism and the military hierarchy of the time. Items of this type are of interest for historical study and research into military uniforms and insignia of Axis forces during World War II. The sleeve eagle serves as a representation of the alliances and influences present within European fascist movements in the 1940s.
