Summary edit

Description
Deutsch: Sturmabteilung Schaftmütze, Dienstmütze für SA
English: Sturmabteilung Schaftmütze, SA-Dienstmütze, kepi (peaked uniform service cap) of the Sturmabteilung (SA) with Nazi Party eagle (Parteiadler); die stamped, pronged metal badge of a right facing eagle with outspread wings, the talons grasping an oak leaf wreath enclosing a swastika; adjustable, leather chinstrap. See also Uniforms and insignia of the Sturmabteilung.

The Sturmabteilung (SA) was the Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies; disrupting the meetings of opposing parties; fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties; and intimidating Romani, trade unionists, and especially Jews. The SA were colloquially called Brownshirts (Braunhemden) because of the colour of their uniform's shirts, similar to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts.

Object from a collection consisting of 3 SA uniforms and a "Winterhilfe" collections canister acquired by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington, D.C. in 1997. No restrictions on access or use.
