Re: "Dachau" found insignia
Anyone even remotely familiar with the development of the SS knows what role the Dachau base/camp complex played in the clothing economy of the SS. To doubt its existence reflects a lack of knowledge of the subject. Thus, the Loch Ness monster 21st century skepticism on this score does no honor to anyone who professes to collect this material beyond a sophomore level. There was a nice heap of this stuff, including the 1944 Fleckentarn battle dress as well as the jump smock that eventuated with an ex GI of French origin in my neighborhood in 1971. The material included many cuff titles, various pieces of insignia, the black Panzer cap with the card board peak, and the camouflage things. I sold the Fallschirmjaeger smock to Mollo for very, very little money. In fact, in the middle of this decade the 1944 uniform from this material reappeared once its owner had died and the piece was sold in auction. It was an odd feeling for me to see thing after three decades.
Thus, there is a Santa Claus after all, though such must gall some reading this whose sense of doubt overwhelms the truth. I want to know what happened to the Waffen SS depots in what is today the Czech Republic, since they, too, must have had material on the scale of the Dachau warehouses.
Thanks to colleague Hritz for sharing his treasure trove.

Re: "Dachau" found insignia
It is quite refreshing to see a post of some (ok, a lot) of original, no questions asked, "stuff."
Thanks for posting, Bob....
