Early Schutzstaffel (SS) album 1932 - 1933

This photo album is from an Schutzstaffel (SS) man involved in the organisation throughout the period 1932- 1933. This album covers the period of June 1932 through November 1933 when the NSDAP party participated in 3 General elections. The first election increased their mandate, the 2nd slightly decreased it and the third facilitated their rise to power in Germany. Included are interesting early Schutzstaffel (SS) and Sturmabteilung (SA) uniform designs (including an SS Medic with backpack), also pictures of election posters of the period (including the famous 'wir' one and the black and white Hitler face one) and marches by the SA & SS through Hamburg and to a local party headquarters. There are also pictures of SS And SA men posing with members of the Hamburg police with weapons and hound. The cufftitle appears to be '1', the SA collar tabs appear to be numbered '9/45' or possibly '5/45'. If you can provide any further information on this album please use the email link below.
