I have zero to show, except being able to express my wonderful feelings when i see important historical objects still exists in safety at their current caretakers.

No, unfortunately. When the collapse of the Reich was inevitable, many SS men ditched their uniforms for civilian or uniforms from the other services. Also, many labels with names were discarded to prevent the Allies using them to identify possible war criminals.

Here is the greatcoat of an SS-Obergruppenfuhrer with a rabbit fur collar, silver-gray lapels, sewn in shoulder boards and silver bullion sleeve eagle. All of these SS general uniforms belong to a good friend and mentor of mine.

Well, while we are doing SS generals, might as well get the last one onboard --- SS-Brigadefuhrer. Note the cello shoulder boards. Note: cello has been pointed out to be late war; however, celluloid has been out since the 1920s. The collar tabs are the screw on type... lots of badge loops.

Very nice sleeve eagle. I've never cared for the pre-April 1942 rank insignia for the SS. I've always liked the 1943-45 materials. Just a personal preference.

This is not a high ranking SS officer but for those who like panzer uniforms, I think this is one of the best around.
