    1. During WW1, many different German troops wore the death's head, including the flamethrowers....
    2. Here's an Iron Division man, with 'skull cap'......
    3. And commemorative literature, produced after it was absorbed into the SA of the NSDAP.
    4. And a Wehrwolf man wearing the armband. These guys are often mistaken for Freikorps.
    5. Here's the armband, with the wolfsangel insignia.
    6. In 1923, the Wehrwolf Bund also made the TK its own. It borrowed its name and the wolfsangel from Loens' book 'Der Wehrwolf'.
    7. Even after 1945, the skull continued to be used. Here's a badge from the 1950s.
    8. This stick-pin is in solid (well, 18ct) gold, and cased.......
    9. Here with lance pennons of the lst and 2nd Leibhusaren.....
    10. This is a kettle-drum section from the lst Leibhusaren Regiment. There was only one kettle-drummer per regiment, so this thing is rare.
    11. Here's its Prussian cousin. I found this in a little shop in Berlin three months ago, and have been drooling over it ever since.
    12. The SS were only copy-cats when it came to skulls. Here's a Brunswick busby from c.1900.
    13. Even Bischoff's book on the Iron Division had the death's head on the cover......
    14. And a fuzzy photo of the Iron Division flag.......
