N013992 ORTSGRUPPE LEVEL POLITICAL CELL LEADER'S VISOR CAP, SERVICE TUNIC, BELT & BREECHES. (Klappmütze, Dienstrock und Stiefelhose für Politische Leiter)

BACKGROUND: The NSDAP, "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (National-socialist German Worker’s-party), was originally founded, in Munich, in January of 1919. Known then as the DAP, "Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (German Worker’s-party), when Adolf Hitler joined it, in the autumn of 1919, he set about reforming what was basically a debating society into an active political party. Appointed as its first chairman in July of 1921, Hitler restructured the party along para-military lines in four ascending levels of government, consisting of the "Ortsgruppenleitung," the "Kreisleitung," the "Gauleitung," and the "Reichsleitung," with each group being distinguished by a specific color of piping on their collar tabs and visor cap. Uniform regulations for Nazi political leaders were addressed as early as 1920, underwent numerous modifications, and were largely finalized by May of 1939.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A grouping comprised of a visor cap, service tunic, belt and breeches. Visor cap is the typical Politcal Leader type piped in blue for Ortsgruppe. Nice original insignia and chincord. Complete sweatband, liner and partial sweat shield. Cap is roughly a size 59. Standard four pocket tunic. Gemeinschaftsleiter collar tabs and Blockleiter armband neatly hand stitched to the tunic. Buttons look to be all original stitching. Roughly a size 34" chest. Comes with a nice complete pair of size 32" breeches. Belt is the typical Political Leader type (100cm in length), again complete and in nice condition.
