The Schutzmannschaft (= Schuma) was an auxiliary police unit composed of natives from the occupied territories of Eastern Europe. The difference from the similar Ordnungsdienst was that they were established in areas under civil administration and were integrated into the SS/Orpo command structure.
In the formerly Polish territories in the west of the Soviet Union as well as the former Baltic states, these units received large numbers of recruits. At the end of July 1941, the Schutzmannschaften were expanded by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler into a significant instrument of German rule by force in Eastern Europe. By the end of 1942, the Schumas reached a strength of approximately 300,000 men, organized in units up to battalion strength. They were deployed to guard concentration camps or they actively participated in the so-called “anti-partisan operations”.

The Landwacht Nederland  was a Dutch paramilitary organization founded on November 12, 1943. Kees van Geelkerken, the second man in the NSB, was appointed General Inspector of the Landwacht by Seyss-Inquart in November 1943. The headquarters of the Landwacht was located in Villa Bloemheuvel at Hoofdstraat 23-25 in Driebergen.
Although the Landwacht consisted of members of the NSB, the leader of the Landwacht was not the leader of the NSB (Anton Mussert), but rather SS-Police Chief Hanns Albin Rauter.

The Landwacht was first sighted on the streets in March 1944. It served primarily for guarding buildings, checking identity cards, and conducting arrests, searches, and inspections.
Members of the Landwacht wore the black uniforms of the Germanic SS in the Netherlands, collar tabs and shoulder straps following the German model, as well as cuff title.
