Complete junk. Look around the other threads for contrast.

A poor Haloween costume. Who ever put this together knew nothing about 3rd Reich uniforms. A Heer breast eagle and a cap trapazoid on the sleeve. Invest in a few books and you will not have to ask about junk like this. All of the insignia is 4th Reich.

The black SS uniform appears thus:

FB I have a question. I see the black SS tunic with the brown shirt and black tie but I also see them with the white shirt. Was either allowed? Or did the regulations change for what shirt is to be worn under the tunic at sometime?

Thanks, Pat

The brown shirt was worn with most orders of dress, and the white shirt was worn with finer orders of dress ca. 1937 or so onwards. The chart with the details is on p. 42 of vol. III of Mollo.
There were those who resisted any wear of the white shirt at all in the SS, but its wear was ordered by Hitler himself.
As you are aware, as the regime consolidated itself in the years after 1933 as the total state, its uniforms became more extravagant.

I would add that the modern images I have included have varying shirts, as many have great difficulty finding original brown shirts. Stezelberger is the dealer who seems to specialize in original shirts. I own no original white shirt of the epoch, but many brown shirts as worn with the tunic.
