EXCEEDINGLY RARE Original WWII German Algemeine SS OFFICER CAPE EAGLE. (SS-Ärmelhoheitsabzeichen) Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran. The Allgemeine-SS, (General-SS), was originally formed in May 1923 as the Stosstrupp Adolf Hitler (Shock Troops Adolf Hitler), and was redesignated Schutzstaffel, (Protection Squad), in April 1925 with the official acceptance of the name verified on the second anniversary of the failed Munich “Beer-Hall” Putsch on November 9TH 1925. On January 6TH 1929 Heinrich Himmler was appointed as Reichsführer-SS, (National Leader {of the} SS), and on July 20TH 1934 shortly after the, June 30TH 1934, purge of the SA, Sturm Abteilung, (Storm Troopers) on the “Night of the Long Knives”, the SS was rewarded by Hitler by being granted the status of an independent organization under direct control of the NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party). A large size eagle, measuring approximately 125mm x 53mm (or 5 inches x 2 inches), hand embroidered in heavily padded flat and rounded silvered bullion wires, excellent quality, in slightly worn condition, removed from the cape; ; overall in extremely fine condition, very desirable and very rare.
