SERBIA ARMY / SERB VOLUNTEER GUARD ´´ ARKAN TIGERS ´´, winter uniform sleeve patch
This is rare and 100% authentic ARKAN TIGERS sleeve patch from the recent war in Bosnia,Croatia and Kosovo.
The Serb Volunteer Guard - SDG (Serbian: Српска добровољачка гарда/Srpska dobrovoljačka garda) was a volunteer paramilitary unit founded and led by Željko Ražnatović, widely known as Arkan, during the Yugoslav wars.
The unit members, nicknamed The Tigers or Arkan´s Tigers (Serbian: Арканови Тигрови, Arkanovi Tigrovi), fought in Croatia (1991-1992); Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) and Kosovo and Metohija (1998-1999).
History and organisation
The Guard was created on October 11, 1990 by 20 volunteers fans of the FK Red Star Belgrade football club Delije Sever. Reportedly at most points the Guard had over 10,000 fighters.
The Guard´s headquarters and training camp was in Erdut, Eastern Slavonia (until 1995 part of the Republic of Serbian Krajina). The Guard was responsible to the command of the Territorial Defense, a regular military in charge of the rebel territories of Croatia populated predominantly by Serbs during the first half of the 1990s.
Serb Volunteer Guard was officially disbanded in April 1996. Besides Arkan, a very notable member was his right hand man, Colonel Nebojsa Djordjevic Suca, murdered in late 1996, and notorious Milorad Ulemek Legija.
Members of the Guard were also ordered by Arkan to join the Yugoslav army and police forces in the fight against the Albanian rebels in Kosovo since the summer of 1998.
