    • Uniforms and insignia of the Sturmabteilung: During the 1930s the SA began using uniform colours to denote an SA member's Gruppe (Division) to which the SA member belonged. The unit colour was worn on the top of the kepi cap as well as rank and unit collar patches. The marking system of patches/kepi colour was combined with gold or silver buttons/pips.
    • Service caps worn by members of the Sturmabteilung (SA); S.A.-Mützen, Dienstmützen, Schaftmützen, "Nazi kepis"
    • On the right collar of SA uniforms was worn a patch (Kragenspiegel) with two numbers indicating Standarte ( "regimental standard") and Sturmbann ("assault unit") affiliation. Left collar patch contained the rank insignias (from ascending Standartenführer both sides).
  • Written and illustrated by Army Hauptmann and SA-Obergruppenführer Freiherr H. von Eelking (Hermann M. von Eelking, 1887 – 1970).
  • The 6 x 9 inch, 104 pages, illustrated, full-colour softcover book was published by the Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger in Munich, Germany, in 1934. It was not only published as a guide for uniforms of the paramilitary organisations of the Party, it was also a history of the uniforms of the Hitler movement. It starts with black and white illustrations of the earliest uniforms of the nazi party in 1923, then progresses to an alphabetical encyclopedic guide for all items on the nazi uniforms and full colour insignia.
