Re: Black SS uniform in wear, 1943
The black uniform was increasingly seldom seen, eventually being worn only by part-time Allgemeine-SS reservists. The last ceremonial event at which the black uniforms were worn en masse was the Berlin victory parade following the fall of France in June 1940. In 1942, Himmler ordered most all of the black uniforms recalled and stripped of insignia. They were sent east for use by the native auxiliary police units and sent west to be used by Germanic-SS units such as the ones in Holland and Denmark.

Re: Black SS uniform in wear, 1943
I don't claim to be any expert on the subject and I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong. That particular bit of information is from wiki, I know it's not guaranteed to be 100% factual but as it says, the last time the black uniforms were worn en masse was 1940. I'm not 100% sure, so I'd be happy to hear the correct and accurate information. Are the photographs you're talking about in 1944 parades, rallies or ceremonies?

Re: Black SS uniform in wear, 1943
Bob Coleman is absolutely right and there are numerous images of the black uniform in wear as of late 1944, i.e. the swearing in the Volksturm in Danzig, for instance.
Bob's uniform is a fine example that we shared for awhile.
Do read this thread, as it breaks with misinformation.
Foetid misinformation.
Black uniforms in Berlin were frequently worn, say, into late 1942.....
There are many misconceptions on said score.
