    SS- Reich plate. Good? or Bad?

    I personally think it good, but I have never seen anything like it before to compare?? What do you think? Cheers, Torsten.

          Lars, thank you for your comments. Glad to hear that the plate is good Would the designation SS - Reich refer to the Division Das Reich or something else? Cheers, Torsten.

            Hi Torsten
            No it has nothing to do with the Das Reich division. I think it was used in canteens where the units were stationed etc.

            Here is a LW marked mug. It was used at the airfield near the town Aalborg in Denmark and also a bowel from the DAF this I found last week

            All the best
            Lars

              Hi Lars, your DAF plate was made by the same manufacturer is my SS plate ... I guess that Reich in my case here might then refer to a home based unit, rather than one based in the occupied territories?? Cannot explain it any other way if it was to be a geographical place rather than a unit designation? Cheers, Torsten.

                I think the designation has to do with the organizational structure of the SS at the time the plate was made. By 1940 the SS had two distinct branches, the Allgemeine-SS and the Waffen-SS. I have always believed that SS-Reich tableware was for A-SS use. I believe I read this somewhere at some time but I am sure some more research on the SS organization would shed some more light on this marking.

                  Hi Chris, sounds like another strong possibility ... Cheers, Torsten.
