“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Here is a fantastic example of the worth of the WRF. Many moons ago I posted a photo of an SS Officer who was also a Burgermeister on the WAF seeking any information on his identity etc. No replies were received. Today, reading through this fascinating thread, I found full details of the officer - SS Sturmbannfuhrer Josef Reiter, (Parteigenosse 85681) - including his SS service record card ! Carry on the great work everyone !
Attached for interest are my photo of Reiter in 1939 as SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer & Burgermeister, Stadt Straubing, and the photo found in this thread when he was an SS-Obersturmfuhrer in 1936 (wearing the WW1 'Gallipoli Star').
Best Regards as ever,
Tony A.

Not full black uniforms, but the SS Generals are wearing the prewar black leather overcoats (with armband) during a visit to Fegelein's SS Cavalry Brigade:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Thank you Stonemint, the overcoat pictures are very interesting.
