Regarding kaiserwilhelm´s comment 715 a LOT of corrections need to be made.
I do not want to appear rude but to me it seems that he has no clue of what he is talking about when he comes to the conclusion that there was no SS culture!
A first citation from his comment 715:
"It is therefore extremely hard to rate any of these items as period made (1933-45). As these items were not produced nor awarded by the SS, these should not be looked on a SS cultural objects but - if these date from the Nazi period - as Nazi cultural items."
Even if we only see that expressed opinion in regards to SS wooden cultural items already this whole thread anf it´s content has given more than enough evidence for exactly the opposite way of judging these objects.
The Deutsches Heimatwerk was nothing but a pure SS company under SS-OGF Richard Walther Darré - the advices in the SS-Family book are crystal clear.
Another SS company manufacturing these SS wooden cultural objects were the DAW (Deutsche Ausrüstungswerke) with the production of ceremonial wooden plates, furniture, cradles and other SS cultural pieces.
Just two examples of many other cultural efforts, companies and maintenance ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY RUN BY AND - NOT ALWAYS BUT AS THE INITIAL REASON ANYWAY - FOR THE SS.
