Great Original Near-mint NSKK Uniform Kepi (Item NSKK 1-1) |
||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This NSKK kepi is made from high-quality wool gabardine tan cloth. The kepi bears the typical black wool/doeskin color band, NSKK Bevo woven eagle and swastika, silver NSKK button, and black chinstrap, along with the inserted brown-wool piping. To the inside, the kepi bears the typical orange cotton lining with brown ersatz leather sweatband. The kepi retains the linen Dienstmütze RZM label behind the sweatband. This piece is in fantastic condition and is extra rare. Inside the lining in the crown there is a stamped number sequence “797026.” This very well might be an issue number. The only tiny bit of damage–if we could call it that–is a one-inch tear in the orange lining, but it does not affect the overall minty condition and handsome look of this great N.S. treasure. Rest assured you will never see a better one offered. By the way, this is the most handsome kepi belonging to the paramilitary functionaries of the N.S. Reich; richer looking than its SA forerunner.
PRICE: SOLD More about the NSKK The National Socialist Motor Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps, NSKK), was a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party that existed from 1931 to 1945. The group was a successor organization to the older National Socialist Automobile Corps (NSAK), which had existed since the beginning of 1930. The NSKK was the smallest of the Nazi Party organizations and had originally been formed as a motorized corps of the Sturmabteilung (SA), literally “Storm Detachment.” On 20 July 1934, the group had a membership of approximately 10,000. It was separated from the SA to become a totally independent organization. The primary aim of the NSKK was to educate its members in motoring skills, and were mainly trained in the operation and maintenance of high-performance motorcycles and automobiles. Membership in the NSKK did not require any knowledge of automobiles, and the group accepted persons for membership who did not possess driver’s licenses. The thought was that its rigorous training scheme would make up for any previous lack of knowledge or driving skills. The NSKK did, however, adhere to Nazi racial doctrine and screened its members for Aryan qualities. The German Third Reich NSKK was also a paramilitary organization with its own system of paramilitary ranks. |

NSKK Car Plaque from Breslau 1933 (Item NSKK 1-3; SA 12-16) |
||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a very impressive automobile plaque in a large size 3 ½ x 2 ¼ in silver color. We found two of these in a recent German trip, one in bronze and one in silver plating. They have the typical NSKK eagle with the NSKK letters overhead. The word Stern fahrt” appears and this translates to “Star Journey” and this indicates possibly a nighttime exercise on the 10th of September 1933 ( the year of the NSDAP assumption of power. For further knowledge abut the NSKK (National Socialist Motor Corps) See other listings in this (SA section) of the site. Use (search Germania) if you wish, found on the home page. The city of Breslau will go down in future history as the bravest city in world history. The people put up a heroic struggle to the death against the murderous Red hordes in 1945 and fought valiantly to the last grandpa alive. This was the Alamo of the Reich! A beautiful and meaningful relic of the European struggle against Bolshevism and a early important piece from the beginning of it all as well.

Official Crash Helmet of the National Socialist Motor Corps (Item NSKK 1-7; SA 14-26a) |
|
DESCRIPTION: This unit, also known as the National Socialist Drivers Corps, was a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party that existed from 1931. The group was successor to the older National Socialist Automobile Corps, which had existed since the beginning of 1930. It was headed by Adolf Hühnlein from 1934. The National Socialist Motor Corps was the smallest of the Nazi Party organizations and originally had been formed as a motorized corps of the Sturmabteilung (SA). On July 20, 1934, the group had a membership of approximately ten thousand and was separated from the SA to become the independent organization. Further on, the Motor SA was removed from the SA and merged into its “junior partner,” the NSKK. The primary aim of the NSKK was to educate its members in motor skills. In the mid 1930s the NSKK also served well the government. They were trained in the operation and maintenance of high-performance motorcycles and automobiles in the 1930s and 1940s. The NSKK also served as a roadside-assistance group comparable to the AAA (American Automobile Association). With the outbreak of WWII the NSKK was absolutely a natural for recruitment by the Wehrmacht since members possessed knowledge of motorized transport, whereas the bulk of the Wehrmacht relied on horses. The NSKK was indeed a paramilitary organization in the first place so from 1935 onward the organization also provided training for the Panzer crews of the German army. The Crash Helmet This is a variant of the first pattern helmet. It’s made of black Vulcan fiber with black-leather “crash rolls” with a protective flap that flips over the back of the wearer’s neck. It’s perforated at each ear port that will fasten under the chin with metal buckle. It bears a pressed-metal, early-style NSDAP eagle insignia with mobile swastika on the Reichsadler (eagle). The brown-leather liner is marked size “57” and stamped with the manufacturer’s mark. The overall condition is good with some drying and cracking to the black-leather neck flap, but some black leather dye and shoe polish could do wonders here! RARE! Truly rare! PRICE: $1,895.00; Early–really early |
