Description
Deutsch: ORGANISATIONSBUCH DER NSDAP 1936 – Tafel 50
Uniformen der SS (Schutzstaffel)
Die Schutzstaffel war eine nationalsozialistische Organisation in der Weimarer Republik und der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, die der NSDAP und Adolf Hitler als Herrschafts- und Unterdrückungsinstrument diente. In 1934 wurde die SS zu einer eigenständigen Organisation der NSDAP erhoben, die in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus die Kontrolle über das Polizeiwesen erlangte und durch den Aufbau der Waffen-SS eine militärische Funktion neben der Wehrmacht übernahm. Kennzeichnend für die SS war die Verzahnung staatlicher Funktionen und Institutionen mit Parteistrukturen. Die SS war das wichtigste Terror- und Unterdrückungsorgan im NS-Staat. Nach der Machtübernahme der NSDAP im Januar 1933 begann in den Reihen der NSDAP-Organisationen ein „Uniform-Wahn“, als diese für sämtliche Gelegenheiten eigene Uniformen einführten. Die Uniformen der SS waren vornehmlich paramilitärischer Art und wurden in der Zeit zwischen 1925 und 1945 verwendet. Heute versteht man darunter hauptsächlich die Uniformen der politischen Parteiorganisation Allgemeine SS.
Die Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) war eine in der Weimarer Republik gegründete politische Partei, deren Programm und Ideologie (der Nationalsozialismus) von radikalem Antisemitismus und Nationalismus sowie der Ablehnung von Demokratie und Marxismus bestimmt war. Ihr Parteivorsitzender war ab 1921 der spätere Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler, unter dem sie Deutschland in der Diktatur des Nationalsozialismus von 1933 bis 1945 als einzige zugelassene Partei beherrschte. Alle Organisationen waren nach dem Führerprinzip aufgebaut und orientierten sich an der Rangordnung der Wehrmacht. Gliederungen der Partei waren neben Sturmabteilung (SA) und Hitler-Jugend (HJ) die NS-Frauenschaft (NSF), die Schutzstaffel (SS), das NS-Kraftfahrerkorps (NSKK), der NS-Deutscher Studentenbund (NSDStB) sowie ab Juli 1944 der NS-Deutscher Dozentenbund (NSDD). Im Gegensatz zu den Gliederungen besaßen die sieben angeschlossenen Verbände der Partei - Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF), NS-Volkswohlfahrt (NSV), NS-Kriegsopferversorgung (NSKOV), NS-Deutscher Ärztebund (NSDÄB), NS-Lehrerbund (NSLB), Beamtenbund und NS-Juristenbund.

Uniforms of the Schutzstaffel (SS)
The Schutzstaffel (SS) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II. The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS), responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, and the Waffen-SS (Armed SS), combat units within Nazi Germany's military. The SS-Totenkopfverbände ran the concentration camps. Additional subdivisionsincluded the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst.
The uniforms and insignia of SS were paramilitary ranks and uniforms used by the Schutzstaffel (SS) between 1925 and 1945 to differentiate that organization from the regular German armed forces, the German state, and the Nazi Party. The all black Allgemeine-SS uniform adopted in 1932 is the most well known. During World War II the majority of SS personnel wore a variation of the Waffen-SS combat uniform or the field-grey (grey-green, feldgrau) SS service tunic. SS uniforms used a variety of insignia, the most standard of which were collar patches to denote rank and shoulder boards to denote rank and position, along with sleeve cuffbands and "sleeve diamond" patches to indicate membership in specific branches of the SS.

The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, NSDAP) was a far-right, nationalist, antisemitic and anti-Marxist political party in Germany between 1920 and 1945. The Nazi Party command structure was divided into the general membership (Parteimitglieder), the political leadership corps (Politische Leiter), the upper command levels encompassed by the Gauleiter and Reichsleiter, and the position of Führer held by Adolf Hitler as supreme leader. Ranks of the Nazi Party were paramilitary titles. All political leaders wore official uniforms, while regular party members wore civilian clothing with a standard party badge. The uniforms, ranks and insignia of the Nazi party and its sub-organizations – Sturmabteilung (SA), Schutzstaffel (SS), Hitler Youth, etc. – underwent several changes.
