Description
English: Reconstruction of a Sicherheitsdienst (SD) officer in German-occupied Norway during World War II:
  • Office furniture and items
    • German Army maps (German: Deutsche Heereskarte) of Rogaland, Norway (Norwegen)
    • Uniform greatcoat (Mantel) with SS rank insignia on shoulder straps and collar patches, SS 'eagle-and-swastika' and SD diamond patch on left sleeve, on hanger
    • Desk with Deutsche Zeitung in Norwegen newspaper, SS ceremonial dagger (SS-Ehrendolch), wartime telephones, office lamp, etc.
  • Mannequin in SS (Schutzstaffel) uniform
    • Peaked cap (Schirmmütze)
      • Greenish grey, high fronted, saddle shaped crown, white/grey piping
      • Silver 'eagle-and-swastika' cap badge, the national Nazi style German imperial eagle (Reichsadler, Hoheitsadler, Mützenadler)
      • Silver SS skull-and-crossbones insignia (Totenkopf)
      • Black cap band, white piping
      • Silver chinstrap cord (Mützenkordel)

      • Rank insignia of SS-Hauptscharführer on left collar tab (Kragenspiegel) and shoulder straps (Schulterklappen)
      • Blank collar gorget/tab (black patch piped with a black-white twisted cord) on right lapel. SD members were distinguishable by the fact the right collar patches on all ranks below Standartenführer were blank and did not have the SS runes.

      • Deutsches Reichssportabzeichen 1935–1944 (badge with wreathed letters DRL and a swastika, mounted upside down)
    • Leather waist belt
      • Box type belt buckle (Koppelschloss) with the SS motto "Meine Ehre heißt Treue"
      • Brown leather pistol holster (Pistolentasche)
    • Riding breeches with extra width in the thigh area (Breecheshosen, Reit- bzw. Stiefelhosen)
    • Black knee-high jackboots (Schaftstiefeln)
