Hello, here is a video I did with Legacy Collectables about my great grandfather who was a KPD spy inside the Nazi Party and the SS. If you have any further questions about his story, his life or for any more details, please do ask! -

ss SS Service Numbers
Scott posted a topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
My on-line search of SS service numbers found no match to those found on a 1933 SS ground Rohm dagger I have (photos in the German Dagger Forum). The number on the dagger cross-guard is 12326, and on the scabbard is 12329. I believe the last number on one of the parts was inverted in error, but I don't know which one . Does anyone out there in 'Research Land' have info on a person with either of these assigned service numbers? Thanks! Scott -
Hello About two months ago, my second Cousin sent me some of her father's stuff that he brought back during the War. (There are photos of him on here in the family photo section.)Inside one package was a a Obershutze GvB tunic that. Family story was he gave the German POW food for it after he was captured during Operation Nordwind. I have her looking for the Bringback Certificate now. When I got it, the collar tabs and sleeve eagle were missing. I had the tunic verified as original by some US Waffen SS Collectors whose names all well known in the community. It is a definitely combat worn. I had the pocket resewn (was torn) the collar tabs and sleeve eagle resewn to complete the tunic (professional restorer who does stuff for the Ruptured Duck). I am quite happy with everything since it will most likely be the only WSS tunic that I will ever own. It was really neat that that this was found in my Great Uncle's attic after all of these years. I am working on getting some more stuff in the mail. I hope that all of you enjoy the pictures. BTW. The Badge locations on the pocket are exactly where the Soldier had them pinned through the pocket so yes they are that close. -
Guys, This is quite unusual? There are two if any one has a swap? -
Gentlemen, What is the correct name for this SS device worn on the right hand side of the tunic? What was the purpose of it? Thank you Pierce -
I'm not a regular follower of this forum, but saw this picture on the WorldWar2today site (see below) and thought I'd ask: Surely someone can list Heydrich's decorations? http://ww2today.com -

I have the opportunity to purchase this piece and would appreciate opinions. Thank you. -
Several higher ranking SS generals had served in the police between the wars, prior to resuming their military service (Georg Keppler and Karl Maria Demelhuber, for example). Were SS and Police long service awards worn together on the medal and/or ribbon bar? -

Hello Everyone, I've looked around for an answer to this but with no luck.. did women wear the old fighter chevron as Aufseherinnen? I know that many women made up the early membership of the Nazi party and it's only logical that some of them either volunteered for, or were drafted into the SS? What do you guys think? Or know about this? I began to wonder about it after looking at images from the "Auschwitz" album showing female members of the SS and after looking at images from Bergen-Belson (post-liberation) of the SS burying the dead. THANKS! -
Hello, Gentleman's. Need your opinion on this belt buckle. Thank You. Front. -
Guys, I just found this and it kind of made me laugh, so much stamping and control on the reverse, no wonder they lost! I would like to see the 'button police' inspectors auswies. It is three shots of the same button, its a bit tricky to capture on camera. Jock
