SS Runic Decal Reference Section

by
DougB
04-10-2012 09:27 PM Number of Views: 49655

This thread is an SS Runic Decal Reference thread whereby WRF helmet collectors can quickly compare SS decals and learn the various styles, makers, patterns and shell applications. This should be a great resource for collectors wondering if the SS runic decal on the helmet they are perhaps looking at buying is not only authentic but is the shell maker correct for the helmet.

SS Wachverbaende 1935, introduction of insignia conditions.

by

07-25-2011 05:21 PM

The origins of the insignia in the SS Totenkopfverbaende, or SS Wachverbaende as they were called in 1935 in the documents below give rise to much speculation.

The cuff titles were introduced in the latter part of 1935, for instance, the one pictured here.

This regalia was subject to strict control as you see here. ...

Roles and Missions of RZM d. NSDAP

by
Friedrich-Berthold
02-06-2011 10:37 AM

as found on a notable Russian site: a nice summary of key aspects of the RZM.

Here is an English translation of the regulations.

I decided not to translate the term “Reichszeugmeisterei”, as it is generally recognized and commonly used in its original German form; a rough translation would be “National Quartermasters Department”.
I translated the term "parteiamtliche Gegenstände" somewhat literally as "offical Party items", one could use other translations, too, such as as "controlled items of the Party" etc.

WWII Heer Tropical Caps - An Overview.

by
NZMark
11-19-2010 06:17 AM Number of Views: 36668

This article can in no way be exhaustive due to the scarcity of the subject matter. This will, hopefully, go some way to give an overview of the many differing types of issued tropical caps seen in German service in World War II.

The most distinguishable issue item of the WWII German soldier in North Africa & Mediterranean theatre of Operations was his field cap. This was simply termed Afrikamutze by the troops, but in todays collecting terminology it is the m40 Tropical Field Cap.
Along with his tropical issue service uniform and specially designed fieldgear, this simple but useful item set him aside from his Continental comrades and added to the mystique of his image as a serving member of the famous Deutches Afrika Korps (DAK). ...
