Re: SA Franken collar tab
This unit does not show up on the list put together by the Allied Forces following the war. Many of the reiter units were disbanded during the war and their members transfered to foot units.

Re: SA Franken collar tab
Reiter 54 had its headquarters in 1936 at Konstanz in Südwest, but in July 1937 it was mentioned to be Radolfzell, also Südwest.
Checked 1942 and Reiter 54 was not mentioned at Südwest, nor Oberrhein (as what SHAEF says).
Maybe the unit was indeed disbanded, as it was neiter mentioned to be "on hold", actually as:
Für die Dauer des Krieges stillgelegte Dienstellen (this is what SHAEF says: stood down for the duration of the war while existing Stürme were
attached to the regular - foot - SA).
SHAEF also says that 3/54 was located at Endingen (mentioned to exist with the date July 1, 1939). The address for the headquarters
for 54 at Radolfzell, which is given in the SHAEF-list, is the same address as in July 1937: Robert Wagner-Strasse 16.

WOW,many thanks to you also Wilhelm,that is fantastic (and very interesting)detail.It really is most appreciated.Makes perfect sense to me that this shirt is from a disbanded unit as it is an early one. Thank you all for your efforts, Leon.
