Osprey Men-at-Arms 278 - Flags of the Third Reich (3) Party and Police Units

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'. 01front.jpg 1 02.jpg 2 03.jpg 3 04.jpg 4 05.jpg 5 06.jpg 6 07.jpg 7 08.jpg 8 09.jpg 9 10.jpg 10 11.jpg 11 12.jpg 12 13.jpg 13 14.jpg 14 15.jpg 15 16.jpg 16 17.jpg 17 18.jpg 18 19.jpg 19 20.jpg 20 21.jpg 21 22.jpg 22 23.jpg 23 24.jpg 24 25a.jpg 25 26b.jpg 26 27c.jpg 27 28d.jpg 28 29e.jpg 29 30f.jpg 30 31g.jpg 31 32h.jpg 32 33.jpg 33 34.jpg 34 35.jpg 35 36.jpg 36 37.jpg 37 38.jpg 38 39.jpg 39 40.jpg 40 41.jpg 41 42.jpg 42 43.jpg 43 44.jpg 44 45.jpg 45 46.jpg 46 47.jpg 47 48.jpg 48 49.jpg 49 50back.jpg 50 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.
