Cloth Insignia of the NSDAP & SA [Hardcover] Angolia, John

A superb reference work on all manner of cloth insignia of these two organizations of the Third Reich. The author takes two difficult and some-what confusing subjects and sets them out in order and detail. It covers the (NSDAP) Nazi Party and the SA from the beginning: I: The NSDAP: History and organization. Uniforms. Ranks and Badges. Visor Caps. The different patterns of the rank structure. Brassards (armbands). Armbadges. Cuffbands. Shoulder boards and collar piping. II: Cloth Insignia of the SA: History and structure. Uniforms. Ranks. Collar insignia. Sleevebands of the different units. Service branches.
