lntroduction
n LTH O UG H much has been written about the National Socialist era, particularly
First published
August 1972
ir) respect of military uniforms and decorations, little has so far been published
rlcaling in detail with the so-called Political Leaders of the Nazi Party. The
ilrIL'ntion of this book is to provide the serious uniform enthusiast-as well as
:jludents of the history of the Third Reich-with an illustrated record of the
virrious orders of dress, badges, insignia, and decorations of all the grades of
l'olitical Leader. ln order to make the complexities of the ranks and grades
inlclligible it is also necessary to give some account of the organization,
Irrnctions, selection, qualifications, and indoctrination of Political Leaders.
Tlre subject of the National Socialist Party is still politically sensitive in most
irrrrirs and rather than offer personal comment or trying to unravel the immense
r;ubjcct of Nazi organization here, we have instead presented the entire book
rrr llro Nazi Party's own words. The text which follows is an exact translation of
tlrc section dealing with Political Leaders and the Dress of Political Leaders
lrrrrrr the Nazi Party's own rule book, the Organisationsbuch der NSDAP
(Ortlanization Book of the National Socialist Party), 1943 edition. Some other
rlurns dealing with the organization side are also reproduced from this book.
llroug;lr a facsimile edition of the complete Organisationsbuch der NSDAP is
irvirilirble from an American publisher, this is in the original German Gothic
tlxl, difficult to read even for the modern non-German who knows the
l;rrrlyrrage" Much of the original book is taken up with highly detailed adminislrirlivr) information of only limited interest to the uniform enthusiast; this
l)r{rsont volume reproduces the uniform section in English at a more modest
lrrir:c. lt must be pointed out, however, that the actual translated text has not
lroon altered in any way from its original style or wordage, as the editor and
lrrrlrlishers feel that the National Socialist platitudes contained herein give
,;orrro indication of the social climate of the period in Nazi Germany; in the case
()l llto stated qualities expected of a Political Leader the text gives an interesting
(;rrrrl sinister) insight into the type of person thar the Fijhrer, Adolf Hitler, fondly
rrrrirr;incd he had at his disposal.
lltc Organisationsbuch, being in effectthe handbook for Political Leaders
;rl ;rll lcvels, dealt fully with all aspects of their work, and the 1943 edition was

The areas in which Political Leaders work are all-embracing and of the most
diverse typeIt was in 1933 that the Frihrer first gave to the Political Leaders insignia
which was, on the one hand, to be a visible recognition of their work and, on
the other hand, to be the means of identifying them within the organization.
The result of the expansion of the NSDAP and that of the many years
steadfastness in the fulfilment of their duty made it necessary to improve, by
careful selection, the badges worn over the years by Political LeadersUp to the pres-.nt time, badges worn by Political Leaders showed both the
Political
Leaders, who of necessity have had to spend years, perhaps even decades, in
one post, eg, as a Local Group LeaderThe Fiihrer has, therefore, decreed that the new badges for Political Leaders
should be separate and should indicate
of Leadership
Rank is shown on the collar patch and the level of leadership by the relevant
markings on the armband.
At the same time the Fijhrer has ordered that the same badges of rank are to
be used in every area of responsibility.

The Ftihrer has given
SA,
SS,
Studentenbund the right to carry unit colours (Sturmfahnen) and to the offices
administered by the Party (at Regional, Area and Local level) the right to carry
Area Banners (Hoheitsfahnen).
The Area Banner of the Local Group (Ortsgruppe) is the holy symbol of that
group.
Party members swear their oath upon the Colour. lt is to be lodged in a place
of honour in the Local Group offices.
lf no such place of honour is available then the Area Leader (Kreisleiter) shall
determine its lodging place.
The Area Banner is to be carried only upon Party occasions.
The Local Leader (Ortsgruppenleiter) shall select an available Political
Leader and entrust to him the office of standard bearer. Only specially worthy
Political Leaders may be selected for this task. Each standard bearer must be
imbued with the importance of the office he holds. His watchword is'The flag
still flies even if the standard bearer falls'.
Regulations for the Regional and Area Banners are to be interpreted in the
same spirit as those of the Local Group Banner.
This is the symbol of the Old Guard and carries upon its red background the
Golden Badge of Honour of the NSDAP. lt is carried at the front of the 500
most senior Party Leaders on their annual journey through the German regions.
53
Dedication of Colours
Swastika banners, DAF banners and Student League banners, etc, can only
the Provincial Leader (Gauleiter). Such dedica-
tions take place ceremonially upon the annual Swearing of the Oath by
Political Leaders or upon the occasion of an Area Parade (Kreisappell).
Manufacture of Flags

associations and organizations to carry a Party flag which
has not been dedicated bythe Fiihrer.There areexceptions to this ruleand these
have special authority.
This prohibition also covers those flags which have a red background with a
circular or pointed central white section with any sort of symbol which might,
at first glance, be mistaken for a Party ensign (Sturmfahne).
On the other hand, it is allowed for groups, associations and organizations to
carry swastika flags so long as these are no larger than 90 x 2b0cm. This
size corresponds to the flag issued by the RZM under the description
'Tragfahne 300'.
It is not permitted to

arm length of 60cm and an arm width of 12cm.
