Weitze are fool collectors with scary and top quality fakes
by
Friedrich-Berthold
Von wegen "Haushaltsaufloesung": Do let me say this: in my experience of house holds in Germany after 1945, this object would not just be lying around in a complete state. That is, at the very least, the badges would be removed, if the whole thing was not burned to a crisp in an act of desperation out of fear of the knock on the door from constabulary of the British Army (i.e. Flensburg) or whatever. While an SD man in Denmark may have survived, as did Werner Best, for instance, I do not think an intact SD uniform would do so in Germany. I have three SD uniforms, but they were snagged by Americans as swag. One of my tunics had the SD rhombus removed, which I restored with great care. That is, the tunic was intact, but the incriminating SD rhombus was removed at some point.
The tunic and the badges at hand look real to me, but Weitze's neighbor in no. Germany, who shall remain nameless, is infamous for his well made fake SS uniforms. The badges are very well applied, and they look more or less real, as does the tunic....but you have to examine the thing in real life and pay an expert to examine it, too.

Please note: my comments here are not directed at contemporary personalities, except one, who shall remain nameless. I seek inquiry about the regalia and not mud slinging at dealers.
The successful collector arms himself with the knowledge necessary to collect this regalia.

Herr Rietzel, please feel free to recycle any of my images on your fine site. You are welcome to them with my best wishes.

Whereby, I note that someone not only has stolen images of my black caps, but also of my RZM handbook. The latter they are selling for fifteen buck a pop....
Silly world this fun house hall of mirrors and freak show, I do say.
Herr Rietzel has a wonderful website, the best source on the RZM in the whole wide world.
