BACKGROUND: The SA, "Sturmabteilung" (Storm-troops), were originally formed in August of 1921 as a protective guard unit for the political leaders of the fledgling NSDAP, "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (National-socialist German Worker’s-party). As with the Nazi party, the SA was structured along para-military lines. Most of its recruits were from the ranks of the various "Freikorps" groups of the day, composed mainly of disgruntled ex-soldiers, and they were first utilized at a Nazi party meeting in Munich in November of 1921.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A pair of medium brown colored wool breeches, which flare out at the thighs and taper towards the ankles. All complete and in excellent condition. Buttons are all original application (two suspender buttons at the back are broken). Original brown and white oilcloth RZM tag is sewn to the reverse of the rear pocket bag. Approximately a 32" waist. Super nice.
