Yes i agree, below is the image from that paper, and here is the link to the August 44 paper.In the "Deutsche Uniformen-Zeitschrift" from August 1944, page 4 various of these armbands were
described: Armbinden und Mützenabzeichen der Zöglinge der SS. The middle desgin was simultaneously
the worn cap badge. Mentioned were:
Estland
Lettland
Litauen
Weissruthenien
Galizien
Ukraine
Russland
Wolga- und Krim Tataren.
They surely will have been made for the SS-Luftwaffenhelfer.
In the article, it says the color for this is Purpur!!!Auf der jeweils nachstehend bescheibenen Armbinde ist in Stoff aufgesetzt das abzeichen, wie es auch an der Mütze getragen wird.

Got the thumbs up on the Political Org. forum.
No, the announcement is pretty clear, not printed!Personally I would think that they would be printed...
Isn't the SS triangle a volunteer thing or something like that?
But in August 1944 they were already being called the SS-Zöglinge? (see caption of the image in post 12 from the August 1944 UM.)but from the 4 dec 44 the designation Luftwaffenhelfer was changed to SS-Zöglinge
Post 7 on the thread you linked to Garry says:

Sorry, should have added the English translation.Well I can't read german so I had to go translate the whole thing with still 1 word unsuccessfully so here is what I got. So this would mean it would have paint or something along those lines? So the armband would then use red, white and purple which this one doesn't have the purple on it...
The following are the armbands and Huezen badge of the SS-helper un shown briefly described.
On the armband each described below is in substance been putting the badge, as it is worn on the Mutze. Latvia. The armband also shows the colors of the Latvian flag and indeed purple with a white stripe medium of about one-fifth of the total width. The badge on the Mutze is a purple upright diamond, which is covered with a thin white saltire, and its purple umrandertes center cross field surrounds a purple swastika. The large diamond is white and purple in color mistook screened changed to Hauptderstellung
There is a video of them being worn, and an image still from the video in Littlejohns book. (image stolen from WAF, yes, i am a thief!)Plus we still don't have a conclusive answer as to if they were worn or not. they were probably produced but never issued and then destroyed by the soviets with few surviving if any...
