WWII Waffen SS Generals Gruppenführer Collar Tabs

Lot # 354 (Sale Order: 401 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 2,500
(Waffen-SS Kragenspiegel). A pair of Waffen-SS Gruppenführer collar tabs, each constructed of black velvet, trimmed with twisted and rolled silver aluminum wire, bearing hand-embroidered silver aluminum wire oak leaves, both unmarked and measuring 40 mm (w) x 55 mm, in excellent condition. Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler’s obsession with pagan runic symbolism manifested itself in runic emblems used by the SS, the most famous of which was the dual sig-runes used on the collar tabs and helmets decals of the SS. The dual sig-runes design was initiated by SS-Sturmhauptführer and graphic artist Walter Heck in May 1933, who sold his design to the SS for 2.50 Reichs Marks. In August 1929 the SS incorporated the wear of rank collar tabs on the left side of the collar of the service tunic. The SS collar tabs were originally adopted from the earlier rank collar tabs as utilized by the SA, Sturmabteilung, (Storm Troops). The SS collar tabs remained in usage through-out the war with a couple of minor alterations. The ranks of SS-Sturmscharführer to SS-Hauptsturmführer inclusively utilized alternating twisted black and silver/aluminum cord piping from May 19TH 1933 until October 24TH 1934 when it was altered to silver/aluminum cord piping.

Lot # 355b (Sale Order: 404 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 200High Estimate: 300
Multi-piece cotton construction banner approximately 27 x 28 inches. To both its red fields are sewn white disks, with a printed mobile swastikas in black. Shows the expected period use and wear but overall very excellent condition. Probably one of the most recognizable pieces of insignia associated with the Nazi regime is the swastika flag. Utilized by pretty much by all the organization of the Third Reich in one form or another. The swastika, (a Sanskrit word meaning "well being"), is an ancient symbol that was utilized in numerous diverse cultures and signified both the cycle of life and the sun. The swastika was also a Nordic rune and the pagan Germanic symbol for Thor, God of Adventurers. During WWI the swastika began to represent national and anti-Semitic leanings in such organizations as the Thule society and other German nationalistic movements and later, assorted Freikorps groups. In the midsummer of 1920 Hitler adopted the swastika as the premier symbol of the NSDAP. In "Mein Kampf", Hitler states that although numerous party members had proposed the swastika and red, black and white as the party emblem and colors it was he himself who came up with the final design. The flag itself was adopted as the national flag of Germany after Hitler's rise to power in 1933.

Lot # 356 (Sale Order: 407 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 400High Estimate: 600
The stamped, sheet steel construction helmet retains 80% of its original rough textured paint. The left side of the helmet has a second pattern, (Circa 1936/1937-1945), black detailed, silvery/white, Luftwaffe eagle decal, clutching a canted swastika in one talon. The decal is retained 60%. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has a M31 leather liner with all eight of it’s fingers intact. The reverse, interior, neck guard apron is serial number stamped, "76" and the interior, left side, apron has the stamped manufacturer’s code and size, "ET64", indicating manufacture byEisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, size 64. The first "modern" steel helmets were introduced by the French army in early 1915 and were shortly followed by the British army later that year. With plans on the drawing board, experimental helmets in the field, ("Gaede" helmet), and some captured French and British helmets the German army began tests for their own steel helmet at the Kummersdorf Proving Grounds in November, and in the field in December 1915. An acceptable pattern was developed and approved and production began at Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, (Iron and Foundry Works), in the spring of 1916. These first modern M16 helmets evolved into the M18 helmets by the end of WWI. The M16 and M18 helmets remained in usage through-out the Weimar Reichswehr, (National Defence Force, Circa 1919-1933), era and on into the early years of the Third Reich until the development of the smaller, lighter M35 style helmet in June 1935. In an effort to reduced construction time and labor costs minor modifications were introduced in March 1940 resulting in the M40 helmet. Further construction modifications were undertaken in August 1942 resulting in the M42 helmet. The Luftwaffe pattern national eagle was originally introduced for wear by Fliegerschaft, (Pilot Base), personnel of the DLV, Deutscher Luftsportsverband, (German Air Sports Association), the clandestine, civilian, forerunner of the Luftwaffe on August 18TH 1934, and adopted for wear by the Luftwaffe on March 1ST 1935 along with the national tri-color shield for wear on the helmet. The first pattern national eagle was utilized until a modified second pattern eagle was introduced in late 1936 or early 1937. Regulations of June 12TH 1940 discontinued the use of the national tri-color decal and further regulations of August 28TH 1943 abolished the national eagle decal and dictated that it was also to be removed from all helmets although the directives were not completely adhered to.

WWII NAZI GERMAN WAFFEN SS ARMBAND WW2

Lot # 358 (Sale Order: 409 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 350High Estimate: 450
Roughly 10.5cm tall, 39cm long, bright golden yellow rayon construction armband with black machine woven Latin script with SS runes, "Waffen-SS" to the obverse. The reverse of the armband has a machine stitched vertical seam. Both the top and bottom edges of the armband have a row of reinforcement stitching. With the German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22ND 1941 the German army and the Waffen-SS encountered large segments of the non-ethnic Russian populace that greeted them as liberators from the yoke of Bolshevism. Although Hitler was suspicious of the ethnic make-up and loyalty of these personnel the German commanders in the field quickly saw the advantage of utilizing these willing personnel in non-combatant roles. As a result of manpower restrictions the German army and the Waffen-SS began employing non-ethnic Russian POW's and volunteers as laborers, drivers, supply personnel etc., in the rear areas as early as the summer of 1941 against the express wishes of Hitler.

Excellent In April 1925 the fledgling Schutzkommando, introduced its own version of the standard NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), swastika armband by the addition of black stripes to both the top and bottom edge to differentiate SS personnel from SA, (Storm/Assault Detachment), personnel, since both groups were outfitted with the traditional brown shirt "uniform" at that period in time. The SS armband was worn on the black service dress and the early field-grey uniforms, until it was replaced with the SS-VT, SS-Verfügungstruppe, (SS-Special Purpose Troops), sleeve eagle in May 1936. Of Note: The Schutzkommando, was renamed, Schutzstaffel on November 9TH 1925 and the SS-VT would evolve into the Waffen-SS, (Armed SS) in December 1939.

An excellent example! Rare to find a NSDAP Kreis Level Administration Political Leader’s Armband in this condition. Nearly every military, civil, political and paramilitary organization in existence during the Third Reich used armbands. Armbands were worn on military and civilian uniforms and also on civilian clothes, from suit jackets to work clothing. They were used to denote membership in organizations, to indicate a specific role or function of the bearer, and as insignia of rank. Many organizations would change the design of their armbands over time, which added to the variety produced. These were manufactured in countless variations, ranging from simple printed bands to elaborately hand-embroidered pieces of the highest quality. Some Nazi armbands were worn by all members of large organizations and were made by the millions. Others were intended for use at a specific time and place and were unique. Many types were made in very limited numbers. Some bore metal insignia or special identifiers that indicated the wearer’s rank, unit affiliation, or nationality.

Low Estimate: 300High Estimate: 400
Hitler youth overseas cap. Comes with oil cloth RZM tag. The Hitler youth diamond is hand sewn to the front of the cap. The red piping is machine sewn. Excellent As a result of the rapid expansion of the HJ there was a lack of trained personnel to fill the required leadership positions. To counter this problem Deputy HJ Leader Hartmann Lauterbacher instituted the "Leo Schlageter Schule" in Fletchtorf in 1932. In 1933 the school was re-designated Reichsführerschule, (National Leadership School), and was relocated in Potsdam. The schools mandate was to train future HJ Leaders with an eight week course divided into eight specific categories including; field exercises, small arms shooting, service training and political indoctrination. Following the establishment of the Reichsführerschule additional Gebeitsführerschulen, (District Leadership Schools), were instituted which provide a shortened version of the Reichsführerschule training courses to three weeks duration. By 1934 there were twenty-two such Gebeitsführerschulen, and by the end of the war there were forty. During the war the courses at the Gebeitsführerschulen were shortened to two weeks duration and were geared even more to basic military training to replenish the losses of the Armed forces. Students wore a variety of DJ/HJ uniforms and headgear.
Hitler youth overseas cap. Comes with oil cloth RZM tag. The Hitler youth diamond is hand sewn to the front of the cap. The red piping is machine sewn. Excellent As a res...moreult of the rapid expansion of the HJ there was a lack of trained personnel to fill the required leadership positions. To counter this problem Deputy HJ Leader Hartmann Lauterbacher instituted the "Leo Schlageter Schule" in Fletchtorf in 1932. In 1933 the school was re-designated Reichsführerschule, (National Leadership School), and was relocated in Potsdam. The schools mandate was to train future HJ Leaders with an eight week course divided into eight specific categories including; field exercises, small arms shooting, service training and political indoctrination. Following the establishment of the Reichsführerschule additional Gebeitsführerschulen, (District Leadership Schools), were instituted which provide a shortened version of the Reichsführerschule training courses to three weeks duration. By 1934 there were twenty-two such Gebeitsführerschulen, and by the end of the war there were forty. During the war the courses at the Gebeitsführerschulen were shortened to two weeks duration and were geared even more to basic military training to replenish the losses of the Armed forces. Students wore a variety of DJ/HJ uniforms and headgear.

WWII NAZI GERMAN NSKK MEMBER’S ARMBAND WW2

WWII NAZI GERMAN NSKK MEMBER’S ARMBAND WW2

Lot # 374 (Sale Order: 425 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 250High Estimate: 350
A printed cotton construction armband, 11cm tall and 21cm wide. To the center its obverse red field is a 8cm diameter white disk, upon which is printed a spread-winged eagle with a wreathed, mobile swastika, in black, in its talons and a black-edged banner, with "N.S.K.K." to it. Complete with original paper RZM tag. Scarce. The development of the NSKK, "National Sozialistisches Kraftfahr Korps" (National Socialist Motor Corps), can be traced back to 1923 when the SA introduced a "Kraftfahr Abteilung" (Motor Section) to transport personnel as required. In 1928 the SA Motor section was expanded to "Kraftfahrstaffeln" (Motor-squadrons). In an attempt to create a national motor corps, the NSAK, "National Sozialistisches Automobil Korps" (National Socialist Automobile Corps), was formed in April of 1930 as an NSDAP auxiliary organization, subordinate to the SA. In early 1931 Adolf Hühnlein was appointed as Chief of the NSAK and proposed a name change to NSKK, which was officially accepted in April of 1931. Shortly after the purge of the SA in the "Night of the Long Knives," in June of 1934, the NSKK was promoted to an official NSDAP organization, given independent status within the party and absorbed the SA Motor Squadron’s personnel.
