  • 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 four basic levels: 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 history of the uniforms, ranks and insignia of the Nazi party and its sub-organizations – Sturmabteilung (SA), SS, Gestapo, Hitler Youth, etc. – can be divided into several time periods.
