English: National badge sleeve patch (arm shield) worn by Lithuanian volunteers serving in the Wehrmacht (the armed forces of Nazi Germany) and auxiliary police units during World War II.

The armshield shows the Lithuanian word 'Lietuva' for Lithuania on its top and three diagonal stripes in yellow, green, and red representing the Lithuanian flag.

• The Lithuanian Territorial Defense Force (LTDF), active from March 1 to May 15, 1944, aimed to defend Lithuania during the German occupation in World War II. With about 20,000 members, it faced challenges, German interference, and clashes with Polish partisans. Disbanded for insubordination, its leaders were arrested, and members faced executions and forced integration into Nazi formations. The LTDF's background involved failed attempts to mobilize into the Waffen-SS, negotiations, and resistance against Nazi demands. The Vilnius region saw conflicts with Polish partisans, contributing to the LTDF's dissolution. Opinions vary on whether it was collaborationist or a resistance effort against German and Soviet occupations.
