This very rare book ‘Die Uniformen der Braunhemden’, among which those of the SA, SS, political leaders, Hitler Jugend, Deutsche Jungvolk and Bund der Deutsche Mädel of Army Hauptmann and SA-Obergruppenführer Freiherr H. von Eelking. The 6 x 9 inch, 104 pp., illustrated, full-colour softcover book was published by the Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger in Munich, Germany, in 1934. It was not only published as a guide for uniforms of the paramilitary organisations of the Party, it was also a history of the uniforms of the Hitler movement. It starts with black and white illustrations of the earliest uniforms of the nazi party in 1923, then progresses to an alphabetical encyclopedic guide for all items on the nazi uniforms and full colour insignia. The book is in a reasonably good condition, though does have signs of use. It has a protective, plastic cover. The dust jacket is loose from the book, so it can be removed.
