It is usually hard to see the details of buckles in period photos but I have seen a few from well into the war. I have also seen ground dug examples from major battles areas. I don’t know why they were still being used years after they should have been replaced
Hello,
It wasn't until 1936 that the swastika appeared on the Wehrmacht's belt buckles.
However, there is contemporary photographic material which proves that some of the Reichswehr buckles were even carried on until the end of the war, i.e. they were used up. It is not yet known whether this has officially happened.

Thankyou both. That this one was found in ukraine seems to support that belief!
Always loved the quality of these early nickel buckles
