    Intro of Second Pattern Totenkopf

    I was going through the thread that Gary started on metal cap insignia and thought this might be a useful addition for those interested in the history behind the insignia. Most reference books give the date of introduction of the second pattern totenkopf as 1934, but in this picture of Xaver Schwarz from September, 1933 we can see the full jawed skull was in use much earlier than that. The event is the march past at the 1933 Nuremberg Party Rally.
    Seasons greetings to all,
    Derek
