Description
Mussert Cross 1941,with original ribbon and pin clasp, rare original as worn small chips to tips of arms,
Early in 1942, Anton Mussert, leader of the N.S.B. (Nationaal Socialistische Beweging, the only political party allowed by the German occupation regime), created this award for Dutch volunteers serving with the Nazi forces on the Russian front. Although some crosses were manufactured, it was never issued as Hitler forbade its award. The reverse “HOU EN TROU” (loyal and true) reflects the N.S.B. slogan.
