N023596 ORTSGRUPPE LEVEL POLITICAL CELL LEADER'S SERVICE TUNIC.

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 light brown colored wool, single breasted tunic with a pleated patch pocket to each breast, both with scalloped flaps secured by a single button, and two slash hip pockets. Its four button front closure leads up to fold back lapels and a lay down collar. All buttons and insignia look to be original application. Numerous stains over the jacket. Approximately a size 36" chest.
