another Organisationsbuch illustration....

Orgabook, 2nd edition 1937.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

This is the second edition of the Orgbuch from the year 1937. The 1st edition appeared in 1936.

These are remarkably bad illustrations, to be sure, which distinguish themselves in their low quality from what followed in the years 1938 and such. I guess the RFSS found a fashion illustrator for the plates I have posted above. When one considers the tradition of Uniformkunde in Germany and the quality of those illustrators who did this work, this dorky set of plates from the SS reflects some administrative and budgetary reality in the year 1937. I think these plates also show the colored Sturmbaender, do they not? I have this edition too, at hand.

Thanks to our Alsatian friend for this nice addition and for helping us along.

The work, die Uniformen der Braunhemden is an excellent one. I only own a reprint. Here is how the illustrator shows an early LAH soldier.

Now I own the book, itself....
