Flags of the Third Reich (3): Party & Police Units (Men-at-Arms)

In his book Mein Kampf Adolf Hitler claims that he made the decision to use the swastika as the emblem for his fledgling movement. He was responsible for the shape the swastika finally took, and for the choice of colours used, which set the pattern for all subsequent flags. In this third of a series of texts [MAA 270 & MAA 274], Brian L. Davis investigates the flags of the Third Reich party and police units, in a text complemented by numerous contemporary photographs, and eight full page colour plates by Malcolm McGregor. Men-at-Arms 270, 274 and 278 are also available in a single volume special edition as'Flags of the Third Reich'. Describes the manufacture, design and purpose of the flags of Hitler's Waffen-SS units and various volunteer units during the period leading up to and during World War II. Although this is the third book in the present series, its subject matter, in effect, takes precedence over all other Third Reich flags.
