German cadre personnel serving with a foreign SS formation that was authorized a distinctive cuff title were to wear that cuff title.
Furthermore, W-SS personnel who had previously belonged to a unit authorized a cuff title and who were subsequently re-assigned to a unit not (or not yet) authorized one continued to wear the cuff title of their previous assignment. (Originally, this was an unofficial practice, which was later officially authorized.)
So, any German SS member serving with Langemarck would have worn that cuff title for the duration of his assignment and, in case of transfer to a unit without a cuff title of its own, even beyond that time.

Many thanks for your kind explanation! I well appreciate that!

I also wondered if the Langemarck Division fought until the end of the war? Are there still tunics with a Langemarck cufftitle out there,
I've never seen one in any collection..
-
They are and even now and then some get offered for sale.
I all ready posted them links in previous threats regarding Flemmish voulunteers;

I've also read something about the SS-Totenkopf-Regiment 11, SS-Infanterie Regiment (mot.) called Standarte 4 "Langemarck" which was part of the Das Reich Division. This unit was authorized to wear the Langemarck cufftitle, this Regiment replaced the "Germania" within the Das Reich Division. But, the SS-Infanterie-Regiment 11 (motorisiert) "Langemarck" was almost completely decimated end of 1941 in Russia.
The remnants of this "Langemarck" Regiment were assigned to the Regiments "Deutschland" and "Der Führer" then, am I right?
What I'd like to know, were there any German units since then (end of 1941) which were authorized to wear the
Langemarck cufftitle until the end of the war?
Or was it only the 27. SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division „Langemarck“
which started in 1944 or even a bit earlier, 1943 as Sturmbrigade „Langemarck"?
Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge!
