re: Early postcard with Hitler in SS armband
Hi Ewan, I have not idea why Hitler wears this SS pattern armband. I was hoping someone else might know the story behind it.
Cheers, Ade.

I don't think I have ever seen (or at least consciously noted) Hitler wearing the SS-style brassard in any other photograph...
If I absolutely had to make a guess, I would suspect it had to with Hitler's official status as "Der oberste Führer der Schutzstaffel" ["The Supreme Commander of the Schutzstaffel"].
Maybe he wore the brassard (for appropriate occasions) to indicate this?

Sounds logical!....

I was just watching the History Channel documentary "The World Wars" and I noticed that Hitler wore the SS armband in his younger years, but not the later ones. I'm not sure how accurate this is but thought I would look into it. I'm glad that someone else is as confused about this as me... has anyone found a definitive answer in the last 4 years?

Since this is the thread that led me to finding this place..via google image search...I wanted to mention I found a version found this photo autographed by Hitler on Alamy and he wrote under his name 1926. It can be found under the search "Hitler in Lederhosen" Old thread I know.
