Re: This Way Up!
I love this Tyr Rune insignia design
From wikipedia.org:
Rune:
Name: Tyr
Meaning: Leadership in battle
Comments: The Tyr rune followed the design of the ᛏ or Tiwaz rune, named after Týr, the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology. Its association with war meant that the SS thought of it as the "Kampf" or battle rune, symbolising military leadership. The SS commonly used it in place of the Christian cross on the grave markers of its members. It was also used by graduates of the SA Reichsführerschule, which trained SS officers until 1934; they wore it on their upper left arms. It was adopted as an emblem by the 32nd SS Volunteer Grenadier Division 30 Januar, which was assembled from the members of SS schools in January 1945, as well as by the SS Recruitment and Training Department[12]

Re: This Way Up!
Mr. d'Alquen can tell us, but this SA leadership school was then superseded by such schools in their number in the SS.
When Roehm took the hand the second time in the build up of the SA (...and the SS) he created a training base of some size, of which this school was a part. And, to be sure, the SS was part of the SA until Roehm was done in in June 1934.
What is intriguing from the primary sources is the degree to which in the regalia game, the SS tried to separate itself from the other branches and division of the NSDAP even prior to 30 June 1934.

Re: This Way Up!
This is why I find the study of the TR and the SS in particular so fascinating yet so demanding. It's incredibly complex with so many facets. There just isn't enough time in the day to become familiar with it all.

Re: This Way Up!
I hate to beat a dead horse, as it were, but Mollo lays all of this out as clearly as anyone, with his emphasis on the chronological evolution of the SS as an organization, in which he joins this story with the uniform.
The color picture books take items of uniform as a point of departure, and the result is totally chaotic in my opinion.
As concerns websites and good ole Wiki what ever, the latter is just lifted straight from Mollo or the books that lifted from Mollo, which is more the case, since Mollo was the pioneer.
The profusion of such sites is uncontrolled and the quality control in same is pretty lame, too, with some exceptions.
