Quite often Ewan the Estonians would remove the swastika as they were fighting for Estonia and not the Nazis but retain the SS Motto as they felt part on an elite unit , that said the Russians would also wear captured German belt buckles and remove the swastika for obvious reasons !!!

Hi David, has that been confirmed yet?

I was always sceptical of saying it because it had been speculation. It would be great to find out that it is now confirmed
Thanks
