Re: Black SS uniform in wear, 1943
It's a very normally for the sattelites of the USSR, all that uniform was hidden on the attics or destroyed, due of peoples affraid Schtazi and potential problems. I think the Eastern Germany is still full of hidden objects, due of a lot of unrestored buildings is still present, approx 90% of Leipzig is still untouched, and some buildings still show the traces of the war as the old prewar inscriptions on the buildings and fragmentation- explosion damages.

For those who wish to own such objects, v Lukacs has this piece for sale. Has anyone examined it? Is it worth this price in the present idiom?
I have not yet seen a uniform from the former GDR area, i.e. Saxony/Erzgebirge. This makes the piece exceptional. That is, the bulk of uniform have originated in what in the years 1945-1955 were US zones of occupation/stationing of troops, or, in the event, the British zone.

Re: Black SS uniform in wear, 1943
I am now told this uniform originally came from the US Midwest. I cannot recall if US troops passed through the Erzgebirge on their way to Bohemia. Of course, US troops made it to Plsen and then withdrew; I also think they withdrew from Thueringen and maybe Saxony, too. I have to check.
Shea had a uniform from Danzig, I think, which violates my rule. I own one from Saaz/Karlsbad, which is also Boehmen.
I take your point on the ex GDR. Leipzig is a nice place with nicer people, in fact. In my experience, the Stasi cleaned out regalia to sell it against DMs and $. They raided militaria collectors and then sold their stuff abroad in the 1970s and 1980s. I have had militaria dealers in Sachsen Anhalt tell me as much.
But I take your point as to many undiscovered treasures.
In fact, as regards my Saaz uniform, the Czechs themselves do not have a black uniform for the ex Sudetenland for instance. What they show with the Heydrich stuff from the Czech army museum is actually from the Allgemeine SS Standarte in Halle/Saale, the birthplace of the hangman of Prague.
So many riddles.

What is the guy's name?
Walter,
It dosen't give his name, just his appointment which is on the second pic. I guess you would have to look at who held this appiontment at this time (from the 24-29th May 1938).

Actually, I've underestimated my ability to decipher signatures. It's Rümann.

Walter,
I got the R and the u but that was all, very hard to decipher. I think you are correct though.

I agree with the above. His signature is fairly clear, actually, He was a former admiral in the Imperial Navy, and head of a league to return the former colonies to Germany taken by the Versailles treaty.
Someone can look in the rank lists for his data, surely.

Re: Black SS uniform in wear, 1943
Wilhelm Ruemann, SS Nr. 276 528, promoted to Staf. in April 1936.
Thus the 1936 rank list....
Can I have his uniform, please?
