Wewelsburg Castle Himmler private SS center

Thank you for sharing the images Ger.
The concentration camp prisoner uniform with a purple Winkel (cloth insignia / triangle), is rather unusual as it would have been worn by either a member of the clergy or a Bibelforscher (Bible student, the term used for Jehovah's Witness).

Yes Indeed thank you for posting those picture. That is one of the place's I would like to visit if I ever get to Germany.
I would also like to know more about the prisoner uniform, What is the story behind it? Were there prisoner servants at the castle?
Thank You

Re: Wewelsburg Castle Himmler private SS center
All this material is in the catalog so enclosed. The two caps have bum insignia, but that is hardly a reason for much alarm.
U.S. persons more or less emptied Germany of real SS regalia, or the other real regalia is held captive in a collector biotope that does not see the light of day because of political and social damnation.
Thank you for showing us the interesting material. Unlike the 1960s, when I first went to West Germany as a high school student, there are today many fine museums and exhibitions devoted to the reality of the III. Reich in great variety.
